text: The picture of the face being in 1976 did not have good quality with the high technology we have today. So when Michael Malin and his MOS team took a photo of the face recently people were shocked to find out that the face is just a natural landform. Also, not many scientist belive that the face is a alien artifact either. The face on Mars is just a "huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth."
