CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 20 April, 2013 Share Posted 20 April, 2013 While idly perusing that goldmine of (sometimes dubious) information that is Wikipedia, I recently came across this remarkable image of the Martian 'Libya Montes' landscape which was obtained via the Mars Global Surveyor vehicle: Now I hasten to add that I don't believe for one moment that this image is a 'face' left by some alien species intent on scaring the wits out of we poor ape men! Nevertheless what a beautiful and eerie example of 'Pareidolia' it is. The other (better known) 'Martian Face' however sadly became rather less face-like the moment it became subject to modern higher resolution MGS imagery: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint137 Posted 20 April, 2013 Share Posted 20 April, 2013 Our ability to detect faces in stuff is quite remarkable, we see them everywhere and I seem to recall reading there is a part of the brain dedicated to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Who could look at this and not be reminded of a face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
