text: After a few days of the finding of the "Face" NASA unveiled the image for all the public to see. They added a capition to the image that quoted "huge rock formation...which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." The authors used the photo as a propaganda to get the publics attention to Mars, and it rsulted on good high notes. The "Face of Mars" became an pop icon from starring in a Hollywood film, books, magazines, radio talk shows, and haunted grocery store checkut lines for 25years! Then to clear up that the "Face" didn't show signs of life Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera snapped the same image ten times sharper and it revealed a natural landform. There was no alien momument after all. They tried another picture after people wouldn't believe the landform idea and the Martian came equivalent of a butte or mesa. Jim Garvin said it reminded him of the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho.
