text: On April 5, 1998, Mars Global Surveyor, took pictures of the "red planet" and proved everyone wrong. The face was just a rock with shadows casting over it making it look like it had facial features just like us humans. If the face was a human's then why can't they see the face all the times they fly over Mars? In the pictures provided you can tell that you can only see the face from a certain angle so where the shadows can cast over the rock formation.
