The side we did not see was all broken up. This is the first high-definition look at Jezero Crater, the site of a 3.9 billion-year-old dry lake. Had we seen both sides of the face, we may not have thought it was a face. Rover sends back a 360-degree view of Mars. The Perseverance rover's Mastcam-Z instrument has shared the first high-definition look at its landing site in Jezero Crater in the form of a 360-degree panorama, stitched together from 142 images. In the original Viking image, we did not see the part of the face that was all broken up-we just saw the best side of the face. The human brain has specialized mechanisms for face recognition, and can easily interpret what it sees as a face. Pareidolia is the tendency of a human observer to interpret a configuration of objects as a human face. However, this notion is not accepted by any Mars scientist, and higher resolution photos of the face taken by the HiRISE cameras of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have shown that it is just an ordinary land-form. The 360-degree panorama was taken on February 21 using the Mastcam. In this NASA digital illustration handout released on February 22 an artist's concept allows us to imagine what it would be like to stand on the. It's a look around its home in the Jezero Crater. In this handout image provided by NASA, the SDO satellite captures a ultra-high definition image of the Transit of Venus across the face of the sun. One might guess that with better images, the face would look more like a face, but it just looks like a broken up mesa.ĭue to the fact that the first few pictures of the face showed a face like structure due to shadows, fringe theories have arisen that the face (and surrounding mesas) were built by an alien civilization, and that NASA was covering up the evidence. On Wednesday, NASA released the first high-definition image from Perseverance. This dual, high-definition camera system sits atop my mast and has zoom capability,' NASA wrote on Twitter. This is the first 360 view of my home using Mastcam-Z. This article has been updated with many pictures that were taken with more advanced cameras then the original image that showed the face. It took 142 individual images to put together the panaroma image which was taken on Sol 3, the third Martian day of the NASA mission. High-resolution images of Cydonia, Freie Universitt Berlin Mars.

The Face on Mars is an eroded mesa-like landform in the Cydonia region. Given the potential impact of this phenomena on our culture, the collection of a few high resolution photographs of the face and other nearby objects should. The mission produced many spectacular images and detailed topographic maps of various features on the Martian surface. Cydonia is a region on the planet Mars that has attracted both scientific and popular.
