Sorry, Mr. Hoagland

The Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) on the Mars Odyssey spacecraft has taken pictures of the Cydonia region of Mars, and they’ve been analyzed and released today.

If that looks like a face, then I look like Cindy Crawford.

It’s very clear to me that it’s just a hill with terraces. But I’m sure that the Face-on-Mars loons will persist, claiming that the photo was doctored, or they’ll get out Photoshop and fill in the gaps, and claim that that was what it looked like prior to erosion. Or they’ll just continue to live in denial and say it does so look like a face.
