  1. In color. That is a great point. Why would you have the super-resolution, but then not in color? This technology has been around 60 + years. I does make a huge difference.

  2. That's very interesting KS15. Who did the processing on those images? It seems to show the "blockies" below the surface that Keith Laney found on the Mars Odyssey images.

  3. Hey Mike,

    Great work as always! I wanted to point out that the vast majority of the ESA Mars Express images have the northern orientation facing the right side of the frame. I'm not sure why this is but it does not appear to be strictly related to images of the Cydonia region. I thought that there was a strong emphasis on this that others may seize onto to disregard (and ignore) the rest of your post.

  4. Again, scientific convention is that north is up. I don't know why ESA can't do it that way.

  6. How does that make sense? They turned the images so north is to the right. North should always be "up."

  7. Exactly. It makes no sense at all. If it wasn't so damn hot here I'd try to rationalize it. As it stands I'll leave it chalked up to shifty behavior.

  8. All that debunking and the thing still looks pretty symmetrical to me. I find it hard to believe that wind and other erosion could shape its sides so perfectly.

  9. Your Host - yeah I saw that one a long time ago I think, from Mr. Skipper's site. He appears to still have an intensive study of anomalous photos:

  11. Great post! I thought it may be of interest to you that in 1947 surreal artist Isamu Noguchi proposed a mile long and 1/2 mile wide earthen structure to be built in the desrt called 'The face to be Seen from Mars'! For more detail you can check out http://divineportal.blogspot.com/ . It looked almost identical to the face on Mars!
