FACE OF MARS FROM DIFFERENT ANGLE SERIES

However you can see the general contours that made up the facial features in the original image. As you can see on the web page, the Cydonia 'face' turns out to be merely an unremarkable hill, with plenty of natural random variations on its surface, and no longer looks anything remotely like a face or any other kind of carving.

The Cydonia Mensae region (Hoagland's 'ruins of an ancient civilization'). The original photograph of the Cydonia Face on MarsĬurrent high resolution image of the faceģD image incorporating elevation data. Before long, to the dismay of astronomers worldwide, there was a firmly established pop-culture belief that there was a real gigantic human face on Mars, carved in perfect detail by aliens. One of it most important distinguishing features, a nostril, was only one of many black dots that actually represent missing data in the image. But what they hadn't anticipated was that some in the public thought it was actually an artificially carved human face, despite the accompanying explanation that it was just a hill that happened to have this funny resemblance to a face when the light was at a certain angle. It was a clear rendering of a human face! NASA engineers loved it they passed it around, put it out for publication, and had all sorts of fun with it. Among a number of similar hillocks and mesas in a region of Mars called Cydonia Mensae, one feature stood out. It was 1976, and Viking I was sending its latest images.

There, in yet another series of photographs from Mars, is a distinct human face.

But then, as it finishes printing the second page, your eye catches that long sheet of perforated printer paper folding into a pile on the floor, and you see something unbelievable. You've heard this all before and seen a million badly printed images. You're startled, but annoyed and as it starts hammering out its latest data, you try to go back to sleep. You start to drowse off in your chair, when suddenly the teletype jumps to life with a loud mechanical bang. The coffee's cold and, outside, the rain drums steadily against the window. If you are doing anything but that, don't ask.Imagine yourself in a NASA control room, late at night. If you are trying to implement an N body gravitational simulation of the solar system and are getting poor performance (e.g., 10 degrees), ask in some other thread what can be done to improve your accuracy. Anything other than that will get you banned as a crackpot. Roufeng, I am giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming your 'different method' is an N body gravitational simulation of the solar system.

That is exactly what I meant when I earlier said 'you give the appearance of having some agenda, an agenda that goes against the rules of this site.' If there are more observations, I can do a good comparison. I used a different method (non-elliptical model) to calculate the angle S-O-T (Sun-Earth-Mars) from to, which accouts to 3650 position points and time span is 1 day, and make comparison with horizons system to find an average of the deviation is 2.98 degrees and the maximum is less than 10 degrees. Because of the unevenness of ground, I even guess nobody can use an instrument to measure an angle of 177/178/179 degrees for Sun and Mars. At the moment it is also very difficult for the observer to put an instrument to measure. However, if Sun is at morning (dawn), Mars must be approach evening (dusk). At the moment it is unlikely to for the observer to put an instrument to make measure. For instance, when opposition nearly takes place, for an observer on Earth, if Sun is at noon, Mars must be approach midnight. In other words, if S-O-T approaches 175/176/178 degrees, how does one from the view of Earth measure this angle? In general, if S-O-T is small (30 degrees, for instance), an instrument may be easily put to do this measurement, however, if S-O-T is too large (nearly approach 180 degrees), because of the spherical structure of the Earth body, an instrument is very difficult to be put. Could you please tell me how one measure the angle of Sun and Mars when opposition nearly takes place. NASA's horizon system shows the angle (S-O-T) of Sun and planet from the view of Earth.
