New Mars Cydonia image released

NASA ^ | 4-16-05 | Orlando

[Orlando]

The image comes from Mars Odyssey spacecraft, and the image shows the very famous region of Mars called Cydonia. This image was taken on May 5th of 2004, but just released to public viewing on April of 2005.

Just click the Thumbnail image to enlarge Cydonia, and you will see the 1976-77 Viking 1 & 2 so-call Face.

This image is better than Viking 1 and 2 in some ways.

Okay, I got my new tin-hat on. It's cool looking, and I wonder why now ?

Good Lord....it's Michael Jackson!

That link works... the link in the title comes up with a not found error.

It's on post #2 now

[Mr. Mojo]

Yep, the so-called "face" is about halfway down the photograph to the far left side.

[Mr. Mojo]

...but it can only be seen by clicking the high-res option.

[RightWhale]

why now ?

Possibility: Hoagland has been agitating about Cydonia again.

Possibility: The new Director wants it so.

Possibility: There is nothing to see but some eroded geological features.

It's better than the 1976-1977 images, but why now ?
I don't get it ???

[Orlando]

That's right ? I forgot they got a new Director at NASA.

Thanks for the heads-up

Apparently we crashed the site. When I click on the thumbnail, I eventually get the red X.

Out the hi-gain antenea, through the Deep Space Network, onto the web server, across the routers, over the firewall and into my browser.

Wow I love the internet.

Can you zoom-in on the face image closer ???

I don't know the answer to your question.

The so-called "pyramid" can also been clearly seen (near-bottom left of the photo).
