[/INST] I've heard a great deal of conspiracieshaving to deal with the so called 'face' we at NASA found on Mars in '76. However, I would like to put these conspiracies to an end. When Viking 1 took the photo in 1976, I will admit it came as a kind if shock to us, we all soon figured it was nothing more than a common Martian mesa. And that's exactly what the 'face' was a common Martian mesa. The 'face' is simply a natrural landform; couldn't be any type of alien artifacts due to the following reasons: keeping alien life a secret would benefit NASA whatsoever, it was found in an area where Martian mesas are common, and we have recently taken photos with high-resolution to show that there aren't any buildings or other formations that could've been made by intelligent life.
Now most of you conspiracy theorists won't belive it, but I will explain how I got to this conclusion. The picture was taken around Cydonia, which is an area on Mars that Martian mesas are common to find. We've taken many pictures of these mesas around Cydonia to come to this conclusion.
Another reason the face on Mars is in fact a natural landform, is NASA hiding the fact that there is intelligent lifeforms on Mars wouldn't benefit NASA in any possible way. Finding life in the outer depths of space would be a tremendous accomplishment for NASA. Us finding liforms from entirely different planet would answer the biggest question of them all: Are we the only planet with life? If we'd found proof that we weren't alone we'd gain more funding for our space programs. with more funding we'd be closer to discovering more of the most unexplored area we know of: Space.
Finally, we have proof that it's only just a Martian mesa. Images taken in 2001 shows that there are no structures that could've been made by any intelligent lifeform.
Although the picture taken by Viking 1 didn't show us proof of life on Mars it did show us just how magnificent our universe really is. The 'face' on Mars was simply a natural landform made by nature itself. We have enough credible evidence to make the conclusion that the face on Mars isn't an alien landmark. artifact, or any sort of alien markings. We at NASA hope to one day find proof of other lifeforms in the deeper depths of space, but until then we will let the public know as of now we won't hid any information, such as the possibility of lifeforms from the public.

[INST] You have read the article 'Unmasking the Face on Mars.' Imagine you are a scientist at NASA discussing the Face with someone who thinks it was created by aliens.

[/INST] In 1976 there was a mysterious face found on the planet Mars. I'm a scientist at NASA space station discussing some accusations about this face. Some people are beginning to believe that the face was created by aliens. However, that is not the case here. This mysterious face was simply created by natural causes and happens to just have distinct features of a human face.
My first reason as to why this face is a natural landform is because there is no scientific proof that aliens have ever existed on Mars, or anywhere else. If there is no proof of these aliens living then how could they have possibly been able to create such an artifact. Plus, believing that this was caused by natural causes is way more believable then relying on unproven research that aliens once existed.
My second reason to this being just a natural landform is scientists believe the nose,eyes, and mouth of the figure are created by shadows giving it an illusion of a human face. This attracted the public which is exactly what NASA wants. So, NASA is using the illusion of this human face to attract more attention to their program and Mars itself. By doing this it is making most people believe the face was created by aliens, which it in fact wasn't. Evidence of this is when the article, Unmasking the Face on Mars states, "Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars."
My third and final reason this mysterious face is just a natural landform is that is resembles features of landforms common in American West. For example, Garvin states, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars," Garvin also says. If this face resembles American Western landforms so much then it must be a natural landform itself.
Although there are reasons this face wasn't created by aliens there are some conspiracies involving NASA. One is that people believe NASA has already found traces of life on Mars and would rather keep that sceret from the public. This is believable because NASA wouldn't want to alarm the public of extraterrestrial lifeforms and create panic. Although it could create panic, NASA should want to inform the public because it could cause support of NASA and thier findings instead. For example, people could start donating money to the company to help with further research and have more knowledge about what they do.
This mysterious face on the surface of Mars is no more than a natural landform. It was not caused by aliens because there is no scientific proof. NASA wants the public to believe it is a cause by aliens so they could get more publicity for it. I mean, this face has already starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows, and even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years. It's had enough publicity and does not deserve anymore because of the fact that it is just a natural landform caused by natural changes, not aliens.

[/INST] "The "Face on Mars" has since become a pop icon." NASA discovered the face, on Mars, when they took a picture of it in 1976. Some people believe that the face is real and some don't. Although, it might look real, it is just a messa. So far they only have older pictures of it, they also have confimed it a messa, which is common on Mars. A cheif scientist for NASA said it reminded him of Middle Butte in Snake River Plain in Idaho. Therefore, if the Face was real then why haven't we gotten more pictures of it.
In contrast, they only have older pictures of it. Very few scientist believed the Face was an alien artifact. "Scientists figured it was just another Martian Messa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh." However, people thought it was a real face. When the picture went online or on TV, people thought it was "bona fide" evidence of life on Mars. Even though some people are defenders of NASA, we still shouldn't give them money to see if there is an actual ancient civilization. If we do we could possibly be putting that money to waste. We should think about if the pictures are real or if they were photoshopped.
However, NASA has confirmed it a messa. Which is a natural landform. Since it is windy or cloudy on Mars this messa could have been pushed around to make it look like a face. Even though we got pictures we would still be able to see things like airplanes, Egyptian-style pyramids, or even small shacks. We could have actually seen those on the ground. NASA dosen't even pass over the face that often. In contrast, we would not be able to get much information on it. So we should not even worry about how to figure out what it is.
Therefore, when scientists Jim Garvin says it reminds him of "Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho," we should think about how is he right. When a scientists says something big and important we are listening and comparing something on Earth to Mars means that it could have been caused by erosion. Even though we are just getting pictures of it isn't enough. We could have better pictures now then they did back then. In conclusion, erosion and plains on earth come naturally. We have no idea what that could be made of it could be made of, sand for all we now.
Therefore, we may have confirmed pictures it is a face. But do we have pictures that it is not just darker sand. The face could be anything on Mars. Because their pictures confirmed it a messa, it is a natural landform. In contrast, it formed naturally. Just like how it looks like Middle Butte in Idaho. Which was formed naturally. If this gets people saying that their could be life on Mars we probably would have found it by now.
All in all, if the face was real then why don't we have more advanced pictures of it. NASA only has older pictures of this so called "Face", it looks like a natural landform in Idaho. So next time NASA gets people crazy about another ancient alien civilzation, think about how they need to prove it.

[/INST] There is much evidence to show that the Face is a natural landform created by natural causes. In paragraph seven, it is stated that with higher quality the picture revealed the natural landform. Critics assume the landform is alien made due to the pictures taken in 1976. However, as technology evolved over the span of twenty five years, the landmark was found once again and revealed the Face. ''As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size. So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!'' said Jim Gavin. Gavin then compared the landform on Mars to other landforms such as the butte or mesa around the American West. Gavin also stated that a landform similar to the one on Mars was in Idaho, called the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. It is a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. Scientists also ruled out the possibility of an extrasteral force creating the landform. The Face was first thought to be another Martian mesa. A Martian mesa is common around the area of Cydonia. With taking these factors into consideration, the landform was simply created by natural causes over the millions of years.

[/INST] The Face is not created by aliens but is a natural landform.
Many people may think that the aliens created it to show their is life on mars.
Sadly we have discovered that it was just a natural landform.
The face like I said was just a natural landeform.
In the text it says, "Thousands of anxious web surferes were waiting when the image first appeared on
JPL web site, revealing . . .a natural landform.
There was no alien monument after all."
On the webstie the image appeared just to be a landform that was not man-made.
The text also says, "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a mutte or mesa-landforms common around the American West."
A scientist named with the last name of Garvin said, "Thats's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same hight as the Face on Mars."
These statistics in the last paragraph should show that this
Face was not created by aliens but are natural landforms.
To conclude the Face is, ". . .a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa. . .".
Aliens may exist but the Face did not have anything to do with them.

[/INST] If you think that the "Face" on mars is proof of alien life, you are very wrong. Let me explain why. If you think that it is aliens then you obviously haven't seen the other two pictures taken over the years.
The other two pictures taken clearly show the mesa valleys and ravines in the formation. it is just a coincidence that it just so happens to look like a human face. The article even says that it is just a natural land formation nothing else. Cameras have proved it and so have telescopes. It is not an alien monument. The pictures that they took just need to be developed more to really show the valleys and ravines in the land formation.
The second time they looked at the face they used really good cameras and telescopes to see what it actually was! The picture that was taken in 2001 specificly shows what is on the surface of the land formation. So, really when you really think hard about it and think really deep about it it would seem like an alien formation as a sign to us that they are out there. But the photographs don't lie. it is just a natural land formation and nothing else just a really cool coincidence, that's all it is!

[/INST] Let me clear something up for you. The picture of 1976,1998 and 2001 was not created by aliens. I know that becasue how would the aliens know how to build an egyptian pharoah. Plus the they sent to mars was just taking pictures of a landing site for viking 1's sister viking 2. The first time they saw the face was when it was all shadowy so you could barely see it but as time past by it was 1998 when they went back up to mars with oe of the vikings to take another picture and it was more clear. They had to 12 years to go back up to mars and I dont think that aliens could build it that fast, it would've at least taken more time to make a good face. Then at the year 2001 they took another picture and it was fading away and I honestly dont think that the aliens would be able to take the face down that fast and why would they have to take it down. It has to be natural because there are no suh things as aliens, because no one from nasa has ever seen one and if they would've Nasa would've told everybody that they have found aliens and that they are real. Also I know its natural because even nasa said that the face had a nose,eyes,mouth, and looked exactly like a humans face.
How would an alien know what a humans head looks like? When nasa was taking pictures the head from a red planet called cydonia was looking back at the camera. Also maybe the head only appears on different years.

[/INST] The Face showing on Mars has been proved to be a natural landform. The Face is a landform because landforms are very common in Cydonia, the only reason the landform looked like a face was because of the shadows visible from the camera, and there was no other evidence found around the face. Also all research for the Face was done by authorized NASA scientists, and the research was believed to be done very carefully.
In Cydonia it is common to have natural landforms, so the Face was easy to be spotted as one. And as the cameras took pictures from different angles, the scientists could see it wasn't anything that spectacular. What made the Face so intresting and made people have false accusations was what made the Face an actual "face".
The reason that this lanform resembled a face was because of the shadows. There was shadows on the landform that resembled a head, eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Scientists even stated that the Face "looked like an Egyptian Pharoah".
Even if the Face was found to look like something that was a living thing does not have an effect on the research that had been completed on this landform.
To make this statement that the Face is in fact a landform is the amounts of research done by NASA scientists. From snapping numerous pictures to keep resuming to study the Face, NASA has had many ways to prove their point. And after placing the first image on a JPL website, it was settled for most people- the once known as "Face" was a natural landform. It was no sign of Aliens or an Alien monument anywhere to be seen on Mars.
And the last statement to be concluded about this discussion is that there was nothing else found near the Face to thinking there is any living activity on Mars. NASA has also concluded from the pictures that there had been no objects in the picture like "airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks..." So there had been no activity to prove to be nothing more from just a landform.
In the picture of the Face, it was also evidenced to resemble a mesa or a butte, another kind of natural landform. These kinds of natural landforms were even almost the same height as the Face on Mars. And all of this evidence proved that what used to be thought of as a real face is now catagorized as a natural landform with some shadows that gives it unique look.

[/INST] Many people have different opinions about what happens on the planet Mars. During a recent discovery many people had the idea that the face on mars was created by aliens. Scientists had a different theory. Scientists believed that the face was formed by something more believable. Aliens was not one of those.
On May 24th NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft was on Mars. The spacecraft was going about it's regular mission until it noticed something interesting. The text states, "..when it spotted the shadowy likenss of a human face." The text states, "A few days later NASA unveiled the image for all to see." Once NASA revealed the images for the world to see, many of them claimed it was from aliens. Scientists had to quickly do their research to clear up false accusations. The text states, "Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing...a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all." Once NASA cleared it up that it wasn't an alien monument they quickly found out what the face was. The text states, "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa---landforms common around the American West. NASA was able to put an end to the false accusations, and also support their conclusion with nautral landforms.
While many people do have different opinions about certain things, sometimes those opinions can chhange. By being able to provide people with evidence as to why something is the way it is can steer thier opinion in another direction. NASA had many followers who felt that the face on Mars was caused by aliens, but NASA was quick to provide them with correct imformation on the formation of the face.

[/INST] Many people think that the "Face" is caused by aliens or it's just a natural landform. Which one of these could it be the answer to this mysterys "Face"? Now in days most people think that everything in space that might haved popped out is made by aliens but that is not always the answer. I personally think that it's not caused by aliens but there's always going to be people out there still thinking it was created by aliens.
In 1976 Viking 1 was cirleing around Mars when it took a picture in the region of Mars in Cydonia. It wasn't something that we would expect. It was very surprising, it looked like a face in the photo taken. A few days later NASA released some of the picture they took. Since than the "Face" became very popular it even has been in some Hollywood films.
I think that the "Face" is caused by the natural landform. Have you ever wonder why Mars is like Earth's twin or sisters well because they are alike. Earth has had natural landform just that in Mars it looks different but it doesn't mean nothing it's still a natural landform. Now I do understand why some people might say that it looks like it has been created by aliens cause it does look like a real face. The nose, eyes and mouth litterly looks like a real face of a person but just cause of that it doesn't mean it was made by aliens.
Now here is my true evidence that will convice people that the "Face" wasn't created by aliens. In 1976 was the first photo Viking 1 took. In 1998 another photo was taken later on in 2001 another photo was taken. If you see the pictures it is so obese that the "Face" on Mars is a natural landforming. In the pictures the "Face" looks like if it was changed over the years.

[/INST] The 'face on Mars" is not an alien created thing but an landform. The way that we can back this up because is they took a second photo and it was clear and you can see that it was just a landform. People said that the photo was cloudy so then they went out again in 2001 and the pixels are much better. They went out again and it was not cloudy either. It was clear that the photo was a landform. The last reason is that people from NSA can back up that the face is actually a landform. Gravan said "that it reminds me of most Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho". He also said " that's a lova dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same size of the face on Mars", so don't believe everything random thing a person says who doesn't even know the facts. The "Face on Mars isn't a alien or an alien created thing, but a landform that is on Mars.

[/INST] The Face, made by aliens or just a natural landform? The Face, believe it, is just a natural landform on Mars. Why, the Face, is a natural landform is because, for one we do have images of this landform, the Face is also like a natural landform we have here on earth, and if there was an ancient alien civilization on Mars it would benifit NASA, so why think we're hiding anything? Maybe there was once aliens, but the facts just don't prove that to be true, therefore it is indeed just a natural landform.
We do have many images of the Face. The very first one that was taken in 1976 does indeed look like a face, but over the years wtith new technology it doesn't look like a face anymore. Now you may say that it's because of erosion and blah blah, but it's not. It has always been just a mesa which is very common on Mars, "New high-resolution images and 3D altimetry from NASAs Mars Global Survey spacecraft reveal the Face on Mars for what it really is: A mesa." With our better technology it clearly shows that it is indeed not a face, therefore maybe you should stop believing it is.
The Face, is like one of the natural landforms we have here on earth. These natural landforms are natural occuring lava dome that took the form of an isolated mesa and they look about the same as the many that are on Mars. "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesalandforms common around the American West. It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, says Garvin. Thats a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. All in all, Garvin is a real, bona fide scientist, so why not believe him?
If that still didn't convince you then this might. Simply if there was ever life on any other planet in our solar system we, NASA, would highly benifit from it. We would be able to study them and learn everything about them. So why would we hide it? Well we could if they, the aliens, didn't feel very comfortable with us telling everyone about them wanting to go see our leader and what-not. "Some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Marsevidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars." Yes we could be hiding it from you for their sake not ours, so before you think that we're hiding things from you for us think about the aliens too.
Sure maybe we're all wrong and in the end you were right and there were once alien life forms on Mars, but that simply can't be true. The things we have; the images, an example of one here on earth, and the realization that if there were ever life forms on Mars it would benifit NASA and everyone else on Earth. So if you would please take your skeptical specticals off and realize that not everything you think is right is right, because maybe you're wrong. Who knows though there could be aliens out there on Mars hiding or maybe they're watching us as you read this.

[/INST] Imagine that you are in scientist at NASA, the man that you worked with was an photographer of Mars. As the man comes in he as an Trapper keeper as he is walking down towards your office. He shows you the photographs that he took when he was outterspace on the planet Mars. He noticed something about the picture and he tells you to look at it and ask you what do you see, you tell him that you see an figure that looks like an face. Then he agrees with you, you start to jump to conclusions and ask if it is made by aliens or is just a regular landform. A few days later NASA unveiled the image for everyone to see. The note on the paper was stated " huge rock formation." As they are passing around the picture for everyone to see one of the co-workers had assumed it was made/formed by an alien. You and a couple of your workers were talking and assumed that it was just a regular landform and changed as the years went by. The manager had did a little debate, if they thought it was made by an alien they would have to go on one side and if they thought it was just a natural landform that is going to change as the years go by they would have to go on the other side. The people of NASA that thought it was an alien artifact, had to explain and decribe why. One of them volunteered and said that they think it is made by an alien because there is no way that it is just going to change through the years. You interupt him and say that is possible because many things change over the years, policies, laws, taxes, and many more things. You explain to them that it is not made by an alien becuase the photographer of viking 1 and viking 2 goes around and takes pictures of the planet as it circles around then they noticed something different about the figure when the picture was shown. The people that is on your side agree with you and say that you are true so they ask for more evidence to make your statement better than what it was. So you tell them that what the picture really shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa landforms common around the American West. You and the co-workes take the last look of the picture and you are amazed. As the years goes by you see that the face doesnt appear on anymore of the picutures from the time it started to the time it ends ( 1998 - 2001. )

[/INST] It was the year 1976, NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft was searching for a suitable landing site on a region in Mars called Cydonia for a twin spacecraft, Viking 2. While doing so a strange face appeared, (yes I said face) on Mars mission controllers at the Jet Propulsion Lab had their jaws dropped in the image being displayed in front of them, but the excitment was short lived until scientist quickly pointed out it was just another Martian mesa of which was pretty common in the area.
Then a couple days after NASA reveiled the face on Mars hoping to spark up some attention toward the Red Planet. Did they get quick results! The face was admired by many, but this started theories that aliens on Mars created the wierd sensation.
When the Viking took the picture it wasn't as clear so on April 5, 1998 a Mars Global Surveyor went to Cydonia to take a sharper picture to display towards anxious web surfers, once taken the image appeared on the web site revealing unfortunantly a natural landform. Any conspirest in the audience can solemly agree there wasn't a alien monument after all.

[/INST] I believe that the face is just a natural landform. There are no facts to prove that aliens created that. Also there are also no facts to prove aliens didnt make that landform on Mars. I will still continue to believe that it is just a natural landform created by the planet Mars in earlier years.
I can prove my arguement in many ways. For example, it states in the text that " And so on April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Vikings photo. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting, when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing. . . a natural landform". Just that last sentence alone can make my arguement 10 times better. That statement proves to us it was just a natural landform. In addition to this, in the article it states " there was no alien monument after all.". Which tells us there was never alien monument and that never was made by aliens.
As you can see in the picture, it looks pretty old. Which should really show everyone something. The photo as taken in 1976. With our newer, more advanced cameras it shows that its just a natural landform on Mars. In the article it states that " As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size," he added "So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pryamids or even small shacks, you can see wwhat they were!". Which means if we really wanted to, we can capture a picture of the so called "face" or natural landform. Also then we would be able to prove what it is and what it is not.
There are many other reasons why this arguement can be won by either side, but there is never a true answer until someone goes onto the planet Mars and takes a look at the face or landform in person. in fact, I will always stand my ground and say it is just a natural landform on Mars.

[INST] You have read the article 'Unmasking the Face on Mars.' Imagine you are a scientist at NASA discussing the Face with someone who thinks it was created by aliens. Using information in the article, write an argumentative essay to convince someone that the Face is just a natural landform.Be sure to include: claims to support your argument that the Face is a natural landform; evidence from the article to support your claims; an introduction, a body, and a conclusion to your argumentative essay. [/INST] Was the Face on Mars really created by Aliens? Or was it just a very unusual rock formation, even for Mars? Well, the answer is no, it was just a natural landform. This giant rock formation, which stretches for about two miles from end to end, isn't uncommon at all. Actually, it is a mesa which just has shadows that cast on it a certain way, which makes it look exactly like a face.
I know what you might be thinking. How could it only be a natural landform? It looks exactly like a face, so it must have been created by something or someone. Well, there are actually plenty of reasons why it is just a normal landform with unusual shadows. For example, the Face was found in an area of Mars called Cydonia. Cydonia is actually known for its common Martian Mesas. This means that it isn't too shocking that it is natural.
Don't get me wrong, a face is a pretty rare and unusual thing for a mesa to look like. Even though this one has strange shadows that give it features of a face, it is still just a mesa. After multiple pictures that were taken of the Face, the one taken on April 5, 1998 was the first one to fully reveal that the Face was indeed just a natural landform. Even though the picture clearly showed that the Face wasn't a man-made structure, some people still weren't convinced. They said that the picture was taken on a cloudy winter day, so many skeptics thought that maybe there were alien markings that were just hidden by haze.
No matter what people believed after they saw the picture taken in 1998, the picture taken on April 8, 2001 was the one that proved to the skeptics that the Face was a naturally occurring landform. Since the picture was taken on a cloudless day the next time around, there were no excuses for those who thought the Face was made by aliens. This picture actually showed that the Face was a martian, and it was about the same size as a butte or a mesa. Buttes and mesas are landforms that are commonly found in the western regions of the United States.
There you have it. The Face sadly wasn't built by aliens, it was just a natural landform that happened to have some pretty neat features to it due to shadows. There is no way around it, because the pictures don't lie. It is even more obvious that it is a landform because ones just like it exist on Earth! Even though it would've been very interesting for it to have been actually created by aliens, it was just a natural landform in the end.

People have even proved that it was a shadow on the landform. You can also conclude that there are no alien's roaming around in space making face's on landform's.
People have no evidence that there are alien's roaming around in space. Alien's are only in the movie's that you see, that's only my opinion though. Even if there were alien's out there, we should have found them by now. With all our space gadget's that we have that can look deep into space, i'm pretty sure we would have found alien's by now.
Even though people have "spotted" alien UFO's, they have no proof. People could have said they even spotted it, but then again since their on video, they could have photoshopped it. People can believe what they want to believe, but if you can see there's perfect evidence, you can't really argue if they have real proof.

[/INST] Twenty five years ago when NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft was orbiting mars looking for possible landings sights for Viking 2 it spotted a "face" on mars in a region of the Red Planet called Cydonia. NASA revealed the images of this "face" thinking that it would be a good way to attract attention to mars. It worked too, maybe not in the way NASA had hoped though. This "face" caused many people to belive that it was proof that there is or was life on Mars.
NASA explains this "face" formation on Mars as a huge rock formation . . . which resembles a human head . . . formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth. Many skeptics believe that this "face" is proof of life forms on Mars and that NASA is just trying to cover it up. Although if this was proof of life forms on Mars then that would greatly benefit NASA so why would they try and cover it up? Well the answer is they wouldnt. If there was any proof that there was life forms on Mars then NASA would benefit greatly and they would most likely reveal that to the public as well, not hide it.
So what is this "Face of mars" that has had so many people questioning NASA and skepticizing over whether or not there is life on Mars? Well, the latest picture was an MGS image from 2001. This image shows the "Face" for what it actually is, which is a mesa. As it says in the article Unmasking the Face on Mars "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesalandforms common around the American West." Thats a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars.
This lattest image has been able to show us what the rock land form on Mars actually is. Which is just a mesa. Slowly since the image from the NASA Viking 1 in 1976 we have been getting better and better quality images. With these better quality images we are able to see that this rock land form on Mars doesnt even really look like a face. Slowly the pictures have gotten less hazy and we have been able to better see the "face."
When you look back on that first image, the one from the Viking 1space ship in 1976 its easy to say that the land from on Mars looks like a face. Because it does look like a face in that first bad quality image, but now that we have new technology with better photo taking abilities it is easy to see that what we once may have thought looked like a face. Is just a mesa on Mars. Not proof that there is aliens, or other life forms on Mars. Just a Mesa, that in all reality doesnt actually look all that much like a face.

[/INST] Fake Face
In 1976, in the mission control room, the scientists founded something eerie on Mars, there was a human face on it! Many scientists said that it was just a Martian mesa, but many people still stuck to their primal thoughts instead of the scientists' well-educated minds. Scientists stated that the face was just founded out that it's just a mesa. Also, Earth have a similar structure as the "Face". And finally, if scientists discovered extraterrestrial life on Mars, what will prevent them from talking about the upcoming major event in scientific history. Many conspiracy theorists may state that this "Face" is a clear evidence that there are life on Mars. But how could there be life on Mars just judging that there is a landform that looks like a face? Therefore, this states that Mars don't hold life.
In Mars, there are many landmarks, canyon, mountains, and, of course, mesa. Life on Mars would be impossible due to harsh weather going down below freezing, and absence of liquid form of water. Then how could a creature make a monument that is two miles long without getting burned, frozen, or starve? With these harsh environment we can conclude that nothing can create this except that it got created naturally. With these reasons, we can conclude that this "Face" cannot get created by extraterrestrial lives.
Furthermore, Earth also have similar landforms as Mars. In the Western America, there are hundreds of butte or mesa. Mesa is a structrue that consists of elevated area with a flat top. Scientists say that the "Face" is just a mesa. In fact, a lava dome mesa that have similar quality with the "Face" that is located on Mars. Also, human brain is linked to analyzing faces. When you go to a sightseeing area, you may see some rocks that are shaped interesting, or during your way to work, you may see many non-human objects that looks like a face. So how could a structure that is present on Earth be a proof that life exists on Mars? In conclusion, Mars cannot hold life that many peoples believe.
And finally, scientist would not keep a vital discovery as a secret. Many space-related articles state that discovering life outside of Earth would be recorded as a major event in history. And if a scientist discover an alien, then he or she would be rewarded tremendously. Will anybody tries to prevent this "once in a lifetime opportunity" probably not. Also, scientists would be delighted for an advance in technology, they would not leave the aliens alone, they would attempt a communication to the aliens and try to learn many things about their life. Consequently, this shows that aliens don't exist in Mars.
Some may say that the "Face" is a clear example to show the life on Mars, and that these creatures created this landform as a sign or as an art. However, with art or sign, they would live near the structure, but there are no sign of a life around the area. Also, it is not reasonable to believe what the conspiracy theorists are stating. They do not have clear evidence, they are just following their primal thoughts like a primitive life. Clearly, it is not wise to believe the conspiracy theorists over the scientists in NASA.
All in all, this proves that life cannot survive on Mars. The "Face" is proven to be a mesa that is common on Mars. Also, there are similar landforms in Earth called as the lava dome mesa that have very similar properties with the "Face. And finally, scientists would not attempt to keep this amazing discovery as a secret on their own but share with the world instead. It is unwise to trust yourself and not the others to make you well informed and educated. Should we spend our time, money, and our thoughts on the devious, sycophantic conspiracy theorists who don't know what they're saying?

[/INST] The photograph was not proof of an alian civilization it was just a land formation that hapens near where the photo was taken. Also conspiricy therist have no solid evidence that the formation is of any alian origen.
So,if the formation was of alian origen nasa would probly not have put the photo out for every one to see, they would want to do more reacerch and get more data on it.
If it was of some alian origen nasa would send a rover to check it out and get more information about it and then make it there top priority to send a maned mishion to mars to colect data and bring back as much as they could of the artifact. Finnaly,thats why it was no alian artifact just a land formation on the face of mars.
Next,conspiricy therist have no proof of the artifact being of alian origen they just asume that the landformation thats sticking out of the ground is alian because it has basic facial featers besides that they have no real evidence.
In conclushion that is why the land formation is nothing other than a land formation and nasa has all the evedence to prove so. And concpericy therist dont have a shred of evedence to prove other wise.

[/INST] Today we recently just found out that there is something figure like on Mars. Many poeple are saying it looks as if it's a face or some sort. Some peopel are even saying aliens have put it on Mars to tell us soemthing, but I hilly dout that.
As I asked a few other scientist about it I knew it would be interesting to see and search on. As we all were looking at this photo of what seems to actually be a human face on Mars a new scientist walked in and talked about it.
He began to say that ailens put it there! All I could think of is why and how would they do it. They may not even be real, we have no evidence to show that soemthing living lives up on Mars. I had began to tell him that's it's not possiable! I even gave facts about how anything livinh like humans or animals couldn't live up there. But he still thought it was true.
I didn't want to argue anymore so I had gotten up and left to do more research on it. So many poepel had already heard about it and were giving out thier opinions. As I read through so many of them they all had great point and soem didn't even know what they were talking about. I really wannted to show the new worker that he was wrong. Then it hit many me, I knew what I had to do. I began to make my own page abot the face on Mars. I did so much research and as soon as I posted out to the world it got many hits.
When I got to work the next day so many poepel were talking about it and were on my side of the arguement. I felt proud of myself doing all this hard work. As I got to my desk that new scientist came up to me. I didn't know if I should smile or say something, but before I could do anything he smiled and told me how what I said changed his mind on the whole thing.
At the end of the day everything ahd worked out and went back to normal. The face on Mars had been getting bigger and many poeple hadn't though aliens did it after reading my page. By doing so much research I sort of made a differnce about it and Im proud to say all the hard work turned out to be a amazing thing to do.

[/INST] The face is just a naturl landform by being a " huge rock formtion" (3) as they said in the story. They said that this is just a huge rock formation with shadows giving the illuion of the facial features. Also weater this was real or fake they still hoped it would be a good way to get mars in public attention. It most certainly did get the attention they wanted Mars to get. And if we never took those last photos what would of happen to this research project.
As they told us in the story that this as probably just a huge rock formation with shadow giving it the facial feautures to make it look like a person. Some people stil dont belive NASA that that is what it is, they think alliens created that. But those people are probaly wrong becasue those people dont get close looks like NASA and dont get to go into space and look at that these things like NASA gets to do. Also no aliens would just go out on mars and make a random face there for everyone to look at. It pretty much is just a huge rock if you look at it from the pictures and you can tell that the shadows are giving its facial features.
Next, this was all to hopefuly get Mars into some publicity with us and make us pay a little bit more attention now that they hade what some people think is a faec on Mars. And for everyone to try to get Mars this public attention they succeded because everyone started talking about Mars a little more. By the people talking about Mars was not just people it was Hollywod films, magazines, radio talk shows, even haunting grocery store checkout lines for 25 years. When Mars got onto the talk shows and the Hollywood films it strted to get bigger and everone start talking about it even more than they already were.
Also when the Viking missions were over and the talk started to die down a little NASA went back and took more pictures of that so called face again and more closer this time. When they took the photos the first time it was Mar's cloudy month and you couldnt see the "face" very clear and good to get good looks at it. And that wasnt the last time the took another picture of it because on April 5, 1998 "Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos"(7). Then after taking the such good photos they were going to upload them to a JPL web site where they had thousands of anxioius web surfers wating to see the image(7). Once they posted it and everyone got their look at it on the web site they said " a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all" (7).
Last, after all the people though that it was a alien and NASA
thought it was just a shadow NASA was right. Also maybe if we never gave Mars all the public attention you would never know if ths would happen either. And if that last picture that had been ten times better than the originals not been taken then we may not of never knew if it was a alien or the NASA research of just being a shadow.

[/INST] The landform on Mars is very similar to the mesas or platues of the North America's Southwest. The Face of Mars is indeed a natural ocurrance. It has been proven with some very expensive and accurate technology that it is not an alien artifact. It would be in NASA's interest to share it if it is an artifact. The first 1976 Viking photo is not creditable.
The credibility of the Mars Global Surveyor has been tested twice on the Face. It took its first picture of the Face in 1998. Sceptics blamed the weather for covering up "hidden alien signs." Three years later, the Mars Global Surveyor took another picture of the Face. This picture was taken with optimul weather conditions and on the highest resolution possible for that camera. The clearity showed that the Face of Mars was mearly an amazing landform, not an alien artifact.
If for some absurd chance it was an artifact of some ancient alien race it would have helped NASA. They could have recieved more funds to go explore and find remenants of the alien civilization. They would have told everyone. They could make a huge profit from it. NASA could get more money from investors and taxpayers. It would have been to there benifit.
The Viking 1 photo is 40 years-old. The quality of it is not near;y the same as the Mars Global Surveyor. The Face of Mars may have only been seen because of weather conditions that day. In 1998, the Mars Global Surveyor took a picture ten times sharper than the already 22 years-old. The Mars Orbiter Camera took a picture that was a lot clearer but still not good enough for some.
In conclusion, the conspiracy theorists have no reliable information. It has been proven by the MOC and the Mars Global Surveyor that it is just a landform. The 1976 picture is too old to be reliable. All it shows is a mesa with amazing shadows. NASA probably dreams it was an artifact so they could get a budget increase. All of these points lead to one obvious answer, the Face of Mars is just a mesa on Mars.

[/INST] "Thats incorrect!" Sara shouted to her colligue. "Theorys are very unbelieveable myths, especially one with aliens." Many believe research to be true, but others still believe in theorys. Research is not always correct, but it can be proven correct after trial and error. The following agrument is concluding whether to believe theory or research is most truthful in the scenario of the "Face on Mars."
Theory is false in many ways. It is based on an assumption or a belief that something irrelivant has happened. For example, believing in aliens or the Big Bang Theory is quite inaccurate. We have no proof of their existance or records of their happenings. Some believe "The face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars." This was proved wrong by NASA scientist Michael Malin when he "flew over Cydonia for the first time ... his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos."
Malins major accomplishment had "thousands of anxious web surfers waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing... a natural landform." This spread news to the people that the research is in fact correct. The "Face On Mars" was not an "Alien Monument" because it is "a natural landform." Theorists still refused to believe this as they keep their hopes up to one day see alien forms of life.
Although the "Face On Mars" was proven not to be an "Alien Monument," it does have to be specified to the public of an assumption on what they believe the formation might possibly be. "Jim Garvin, chief scientist for NASA's Mars exploration program," concluded that it is a "Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa." Yes, this is a type of theory, but it is a relevant theory based on a previous discovery of events.
The previous statements prove that research is the most truthful way to belive in the scenario of "The Face On Mars." Scientists Michael Malin and Jim Garvin proved that the what was believed to be "Alien monument," was actually a landform that is common around the American West. "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa." In conclusion, the "Face On Earth" is proven by research that it is not an "Alien Monument," but an American West resembled mesa.

[/INST] Based on what I've read some believe that there's a face on Mars, and it could be linked to extra-terrestrial life. But I don't find this to be truthful here's why. If you look at the picture from 1976 it can resemble a face, but if you look at the 2001 picture it just looks like a landform. Here's another thing, the one from 1998 looks like volcanic activity is emerging, which could be the case. These pictures contain important information, and data that can be analyzed, which will help NASA find out more about this.
Let's go back to the Viking 1 spacecraft. This machine was built in 1976, which could possibly mean the machines camera was broken, or malfunctioning. One major factor in this is NASA. NASA is a company who study's life outside our atmosphere. When they launch probes into space it costs millions of dollars to do so. When they find real life outside our atmosphere they get paid for all the research they've done.
Then there's the rumors that certain people spread around. Usually it's untrue, but there's a possibility that it's true. These are theorists, they do this to gain popularity for themselves, or sometimes even money. The "Face on Mars" did gain lots of popularity for itself among time. It got movies, magazines, even haunted grocery checkout lines. But among that it caused other things.

[/INST] The "face" on Mars wasn't created by martians. Because through disoveries in technology we have discovered that the "face" on mars is not a structure made to look like a human it is simply just a mesa.
The evidence in the passage supports my thesis because it states that since the original photo was taken in 1976 when they were looking for the Viking 1's sister ship Viking 2 places to land they saw the "face" "NASAs Viking 1 spacecraft was circling the planet, snapping photos of possible landing sites for its sister ship Viking 2, when it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face." NASA have been taking pictures and researching the "face". Their research has helped them come to the conclusion that it is a mesa and not a martian creation to look like a human face.
Also they state here that new technology has helped them take better pictures "New high-resolution images and 3D altimetry from NASAs Mars Global Survey spacecraft reveal the Face on Mars for what it really is: A mesa.". NASA shortly after discovering the "face" realized that it was just another martian mesa and the facial features that it had were just shadows as stated here "the sensation was short lived. Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh.".
As I stated in the introduction the face on Mars is simply a mesa and not a martian creation and through the data in the passage I supported my answer that there is not an actual face on Mars.

[/INST] Why do you think it is a alien?
Were walking 41 degrees north martian latitude to The Face on Mars my partner saw the face before I could. He called my name in shock when I saw the face my jaws dropped instantly. My partner saids to me wow an alien face how cool i looked at him like he was crazy and said " an alien face are you serious? youv'e got to be kidding that is clearly a landform right there." No way that is most definetly a alien face. So we head back and I told him i'm going to prove you wrong partner. He saids, alight we'll see about that."
You think before we go back we can hang out a little I feel like you don't know enough about me. Well ok I mean you our new and all so let's grab a bite but as he was telling me about himself I couldn't stop thinking about The Face on Mars. I'm thinking in my head so ik don't interrupt him while he's talking. I say there is no way that is an alien face that's just not possible. I have to find a way tho prove him wrong. Maybe I'll need my Mars Orbiter Camera team to help with this one. They'll snap a picture ten times better than the original Viking photos.
So came the next day I called them and ask can they help me and they said sure we will love to. On April 5, 1998 when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time. Me, my crew ,and also my partner snapped some pictures of The Face On Mars we took more than one because I want him to really understand this is not an alien. On April 8, 2001 Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look. We had to roll 25 spacecraft degrees to center the Face in the field of veiw.
Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolution. Each pixel in the 2001 iage spans 1.56 meters. What the picture actually shows is the the Matian Equivalent of a butte or mesa-- landforms common around the American West. So I proved to my partmer that is not an alien face on Mars it is a landform. He was kind of sad but he'll get over it.

[/INST] The Face is a natural landform in Cydonia on Mars, it wasn't created by extraterrestrials. I can prove the Face is only a natural landform bescause there are similiar rock formations near Cydonia that show zero evidence of aliens, NASA hasn't been bringing in thousands of dollars from the discovery, and scientists discovered nothing strange about the rocks besides its resemblance to landforms common around the American West.
The article, "Unmasking the Face on Mars", brought the fact that there are similiar rock formations near Cydonia that show absolutely no evidence of alien manufacturing to the reader's attention. This statement and fact proves that aliens did not create a face out of rock on Mars, let alone exist on Mars. The actual quote is, "Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unsual shadows that made it look like an Eygptian Pharaoh." A few days after the discovery, NASA released the image to the public along with this statement: "huge rock formation...which resembles a human head...formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth."
Also, if the Face was really formed by aliens, NASA would be getting thousands and thousands of dollars from the discovery that there are other beings that aren't living on Earth. The author of "Unmasking the Face on Mars" also brought up the counter-argument that the Face was indeed made by aliens. But then provided the reader with viable information that shuts down the counter-argument. "Some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars-evidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, defenders of NASA's budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars."
The last piece of evidence that proves the Face is just a land formation on Mars is that scientists discovered nothing out of the ordinary about the rock formations, besides the resemblance to land formations in the American West. After using a professional camera, scientists released this statement: "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West." These reasons support the statement that the Face is only a land formation and wasn't created by aliens.

[INST] You have read the article 'Unmasking the Face on Mars.' Imagine you are a scientist at NASA discussing the Face with someone who thinks it was created by aliens. Using information in the article, write an argumentative essay to convince someone that the Face is just a natural landform.Be sure to include: claims to support your argument that the Face is a natural landform; evidence from the article to support your claims; an introduction, a body, and a conclusion to your argumentative essay. [/INST] The believe of the "Face on Mars" being created by aliens is unlogical. The "face" is a simple landform. Why would NASA not tell the people there is aliens? There are images to prove that it's nothing but a natural landform.
First, NASA would make tons of money if there was aliens. The "Face on Mars" has starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, and even radio talk shows. They would make tons of money to be the first space station to find logical information to show that aliens exist; they would go down in history. However, NASA is an informative group; they can't send out false information. That is why they aren't releaseing any information; there is nothing to release.
Second, on April 5, 1998 when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time the MOC team took pictures, pictures that were ten times better than the original. When the team uploaded it online the image revealed nothing but a normal, natural landform. That day was cloudy however so any type of alien finding could have been hidden in the haze.
However people still weren't satisfied, so another image was taken on April 8, 2001, on a cloudless summer day in Cydonia. Which showed nothing again; Garvin stated, "...you can discern things in a digital image three times bigger than the pixel size," and, "So, if there were objects in this picture...you could see what they were!". Which means that they enlarged the picture and there was nothing there.
In conclusion, one should not believe there is any alien activity to do with the "Face on Mars". NASA would get money off having found the first aliens, yet they aren't revealing anything, because there is nothing to reveal. There have been two pictures to prove there is no alien findings on the "Face on Mars". The "Face on Mars" isn't some alien creation; it's a simple natural landform.

[/INST] In 1976 a picture was taken by Viking 1 was taken that sparked up controversy. In the picture of the Martian surface there appears to be the shape of a face made from the rock. Although it was disproven that it was a face built by aliens it still makes some people subscribe to the consperocy theories surrounding this Martian Mesa.
Some of the claims hat support that this is a natural occurance and not a monument built by aliens is that when in different lighting it turns from a face to just a normal mesa. But, of course, some people don't believe this and they say that NASA is just trying to cover it up. In responce to these accusations NASA said that it would be amazing if it actually was an alien monument because it would give new light onto exploring the Red Planet.
In the text the author states that to achieve the photo that proved the face was not actually a face took extreme detail to get perfect and that if it was a face or their was any other buidling around the mesa it would be as clear as day. Also, even here on planet Earth there are examples of these mesa such as the one in Idaho that is a lava dome about the same height as the face. So, in conclusion, NASA really doesn't have a reason to cover it up; if it wasn't a face then they don't really loose anything but if it was a face then they would get tons of money for missions to Mars.

[/INST] The Face on Mars was not created by aliens, and does not prove that there is alien life on Mars. The Face was created simply by poor camera quality and an optical illusion. The later pictures of the Face taken in 1998 and 2001 prove this theory even further. If you look at the later pictures, you can clearly see that the Face is nothing more than a natural formation. NASA is also in support of finding alien life, so they would have no reason in trying to disprove that aliens are not real. So, the face is nothing more than an optical illusion, and not something created by aliens.
The Face on Mars is nothing more than an optical illusion and a natural formation working together. If you look at the picture of the Face from 1976, then it is very convincing proof that the face was the work of aliens. However, the picture of the Face that was taken in 2001 shows that the Face is simply a rock formation with shadows where the eyes and mouth should be. This is also proven with the picture that was taken in 1998. Even though there is clouds over the Face, you can still tell that there is no alien creation in the picture. Garvin brings up a comparison of the Face to a "Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho," which is a "lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars." By drawing this comparison, it gives us something we can easily compare the Face to on Earth. People don't claim that the "Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain" was created by aliens, yet it is easily comparable to the Face.
Alien life on Mars would support NASA. It would bring great attention to the space program, and more funding. If NASA were to find aliens, they wouldn't hide it from the public. Whenever the picture was first taken in 1976, NASA released it to the public only a few days after it was taken. Although the picture had a theory to disprove that it was the creation of aliens along with it, NASA still released it almost immediatly. This is proof that NASA is in support of finding alien life becuase they were not afraid to release something that could possibly prove it. Even after NASA ended the Viking missions, they still went back to take more photos of the Face. This would either prove the conspiracy theorists even more, due to advancments in technology which would allow for higher resolution photos, or it would prove NASA's theory that shadows were creating the optical illusion. The pictures helped the case of the latter. Because of how much clearer the picture taken in 1998 is compared to the picture taken in 1976, you are able to see much more detail of the Face, and can easily tell that it is just a mesa. Conspiricy theorists claimed that the alien markings were hidden by the haze in the picture, which would later be disproved by the very clear picture taken in 2001. So, if NASA were not in support of finding alien life, why would they release three pictures that could possibly prove alien life?
In conclusion, the face was not created by aliens. NASA is also not trying to hide any evidence for alien life on Mars, so if this were the creation of aliens, NASA would fully support it. NASA released three photos of the Face, all which had the possibility of proving that it was the creation of aliens, yet they still released them. So, if NASA wanted to hide alien life, why would they release anything to hint at it?

[/INST] On May 24,2001 NASA vikings 1 spacecraft was circling mars and snapped a photo of a strange human like face on mars. It just so happens its not actually a face. Scientists discovered that the face on mars was just a natural landform. Some people think aliens created the "face" on mars.
However, aliens did not create the face on mars. The face was a natural landform, scientists did tons of research on this face. At first the scientists thought the face on mars was just another Martian mesa. Once this face was captured on camera a few days later NASA revealed the face they took a picture of on mars. The face then was starred in a hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines and even radio talk shows.
When the scientists were researching the face on mars, like i said they thought it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh. Many people make ridiculous assuotions, like how they think aliens created this face on mars, even though there can be human life on mars but those are just theorys people are making. Which is when everyone starts amking these assuptions and even make it look belivable that aliens could have possible made the "face on mars".
So aliens did not create this human like face on mars it was mostly just consquently mistaken to be one becuase it really is just huge rocks together just so happening to look like a face.

[/INST] I think the face on mars is a land form becasue. Only a few scientist thought it had something to do with aleins.
I tink it is a huge rock formation like said in the story. And I also think they said whatever they could just to have the chance for tax payers. To pay to help build the rocket or rover to get pictures of mars and study the surface. And I think it it was real it would be more detailed by maybe making hair eyebrow's or mustache. And standing up. And it is two miles lonf I dont think something would do that. And there is landfroms in the united states like the snake river of Idaho but we never mad that and it looks like a snake. A lave dome in a mesa is the same hight as the face of marrs also. And I dont think it would have a bunch oh holes on its forehead if it was made because usually things are made good and if they can fly a space ship to mars they have to be pretty smart. Other wise they would not be able to build it. And I alsp thought it was fake cause the other mountain by it.
So I physicaly think it would be inpossible to make soemthing that huge of a human. And I think there would be a giant hole around the face because were they needed the rock or whatever it is on mars to make the face. And its like a cloud kinda just because it looks like a bunny or dog dont mean someone made it look like one somethings just happen that way.
So my final opinion on this is that it is fake and noone could make this unless you had thoulsands and thoulsands of people. And nasa said after they took pitures it was just a quensedence that it looked like a humans head. I could see why people say that cause I see eyes a nose and lips.

[/INST] The face that you seem to see on Mars is just a big misunderstanding. Many conspiracy theorists have made up stories about this face in order to get money and popularity. Even though it is actually just a mesa in the middle of Mars, located in Cydonia. There are many mesas in the western United States and aren't made from any alien race.
This article states that the Face is,"formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." This illusion is what conspiracy theorists use to make it viral. It also proves how there is no face at all. It is all just a big shadow of a mesa in Cydonia.
On April 5, 1998 the Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia. Michael Malin and his team used the Mars Orbiter Camera to take photographs of the face. These photographs were ten times sharper than those of the previous Viking missions. They revealed that is was just a natural mesa and there wasn't anything to do with aliens at all.
April 8, 2001 was a day that completely changed and confirmed that there was nothing more than a mesa in Cydonia. The Mars Orbiter Surveyor can take pictures with one pixel being 1.56 meters, while the early Viking photographs had pixels that were 43 meters. This high definition camera took a picture of the face again. Being able to zoom in up to 3 times larger than the normal picture, the team found out there weren't any structures or figures on the face.
There is plenty of evidence that can prove there isn't anything wrong with the area in Cydonia. Going from high defintion photographs with modern technology to zoom in and spot out evidence or old photos showing shadows of the mesa walls. There are plenty of conspiracies that have been proven false by these photos and research of the NASA workers. This has proven that the Face on Mars was never actually a face or alien structure, but a normal everyday mesa.

[/INST] Are aliens real or just a myth? Aliens have supposedly done many things on the planets. The question is, did the aliens create The Face on Mars? Or is The Face just a natural landform on Mars? There are many theories on which one is true.
The Face on Mars is just a natural landform on Mars. There is a theory that has been going around for centuries, that aliens created The Face. Many people will believe whatever they hear on T.V. or anything that draws the media attention. People forget that they need facts and or evidence proving something. Otherwise it will only ever be consindered a theory.
Mars happens to be like Earth in many ways. There was once water on the red planet. That has facts to back it up. Mars is believed to have once held life, it may or may not be true. NASA is still working on whether or not Mars had life there once. Yet, since Mars is our sister planet, also may have common characteristics. As in there natural landmarks. But, if there is actual proof on aliens, maybe they did make The Face.

[/INST] Many people have heard of the "Face" of Mars. My friend and I were arguing about if it was ancient bona fide evidence of life on Mars, or a natural landform. We argued a bit, but he finally believed me after i told him the real facts. Here is my evidence of the "Face" being a natural landform.
Beggining with the first image ever uploaded on the "Face", many believed the "Face" to be some sort of alien artifact. NASA stated it was a rock formation, and this would be proved over a period of years. Firstly, when the picture was taken, scientist thought it could have been an ancient artifact, but then found out it was just a mesa, but with unusual shadows to give its appearance. This is stated in all of paragraph 2,
"There must have been a degree of surprise among mission controllers back at the Propulsion Lab when the face appeared on their monitors. But the sensation was short lived. Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh." Next, much better photos were taken, almost 18 years after the original image! This is stated in this sentence, "We photographed the Face as soon as we could get a good shot at it. And so on April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his MArs Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos."
Finally, a final picture, taken in 2001, was the key to finishing the research and to prove it was just a mesa, beggining with "Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo." and is also stated in "So if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!."
Nevertheless, the controversial photo was disproven. This shows how much a popular photo can become a question science can, or cannot, answer. So it is finally over and done with, the "Face" was actually a mesa with a shadow, taken at the perfect time to show a face.

[/INST] Twenty five years ago, NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft was circling Mars. While snapping photos of possible landing sites, it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face. The head is nearly two miles from end to end and seemed to be staring back at the cameras from a region of the Red Planet called Cydonia. This head formation is just a natural landform on Mars. On the otherhand, some people think that NASA would rather hide the fact that it could be life on Mars, say conspiracy theorists.
The face on Mars is a natural land form. The article states that, "Although few scientists believed the Face was an alien artifact, photographing Cydonia became a priority for NASA when Mars Global Surveyor arrived at the Red Planet in September 1997, eighteen long years after the Viking missions ended." This shows that pictures would be taken to prove that the landform is indeed a natrual landform. The text also states that, "And so on April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the face first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing...a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all." This peice of text shows proves that with the pictures, the head is a natural landform. These text peices show that the face is a natural landform on Mars.
The land formation on Mars is was not created by aliens. The article states that, "On April 8, 2001-a cloudless summer day in Cydonia-Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look. 'We had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view, Mailin's team an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolution. Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo." The text also states that, "As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size, so if there were any objects in this picure like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!" These text peices show that the pictures would have caught any signs of alien incounters so these prove that the natrual landform on Mars was not created by aliens.
Some say that the face has been created by aliens and that it is not a natural landform. The article states that, "But not everyone was satisfied. The Face on Mars is located at 41 degrees north martian latitude where it ws winter in April '98-a cloudy time of year on the Red planet. The camera on board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face. Perhaps, said skeptics, alien markings were hidden by haze." These text peices show that since it was a cloudy time, the alien markings weren't revealed which makes them believe that the face was created by aliens. However, new pictures were taken and shows that if there was alien markings, they would have been noticed which goes to show that the face is a natural landform.
In conclusion, 25 years ago, a face had been seen on Mars by pictures from the Vinking that is a natural landform and looks similar to a human face. Some say that the landform was created by aliens, but there is proof that aliens had no part in the formation what so ever. Few scientists believe that it's a alien artifact but with pictures, alien markings would have been noticed. The Face on Mars is just a natural landform.

[/INST] Twenty-five years ago NASA had found something on thr planet Mars. Many people for twenty-five years have wondered if the "Unmasking the Face on Mars' was really made by aliens and if could be a accient artifact left behind by aliens. "The Unmasking the Face on Mars" had probably lead lots of people to thinking that their could be a really big chance of aliens being real. Ever since the face on Mars was discoverd lots of people thought that their really could be alien life it could be just a natural piece of landform on the planet Mars. If you look closley at the 1976 picture its a low quality picture since its from 1976 than twenty-three years later in 1998 it was taken again lots of people who had seen it were not sastisfed it was a winter april in 1998 it was also a cloudy time of year on Mars. Even though the cameras took the picture ten times sharper it had been really cloudy so you could barley see the picture to have real proof if it was created by aliens. Later in 2001 they had gave it a other shot making it the most recent. The 2001 picture had still been some what the same as the 1976 picture. To me its just a normal natural landform that was created itself by the planet. lots of things on earth look like other things it is just the way the landfrom is created into.

[/INST] My name is PROPER_NAME, I'm a scientist at the NASA, I research and deal with science matters. I've been researching the Faces on Mars, I have so much research and I've been working on this for awhile now. So right now I'm going to be talking about me trying to convince someone that the Faces on Mars is just a landform.
Today, I'm meeting with a guy who wants to know more about these face/landforms on Mars, so today I'm going to sit with the guy and talk with him. Well the guy comes in and he's wanting to know all these things about the faces on Mars, and then I interuppted him and said, "did you know those are landforms" and he replaid, "no those are faces." So then i was like can you give me any information explain why you think those are faces and he said because I've say people saying that on the interent.
I said, "Well that's what people are saying on the internet, so it might not always be true. So here is some information that I've researched about the landforms on Mars that might make you think diffrently. There has been pictures taken of the landforms from 1976,1998 and 2001, and yes they kind of look like faces but they are landforms. NASA defends what people are saying about the faces on Mars. Yes, peple think that there is life on Mars,but how would the faces on Mars prove that? The guy then says yeah I understand were your coming from. The guy then says yes, I guess your right about them being landform. It really didn't take much convincing. Before the guy left he said Thanks. After doing all that I went ahead and did more research just so if I found more about the landforms, then I could call the guy and let him know what's going on.

[/INST] Some people may think that the Face was created by aliens, but it was not. The face is just a natural landform that is a huge rock formation. No aliens were involved in the making of it. Although it has starred in books, films, magazines and talk shows that does not mean it was created by aliens.
To start from the beginning, NASA was just circling Mars taking pictures of possible places where one of the other ships could land. Then it spotted the shadowy rock that looked like a face. A few days after NASA snapped the photo of the Face everyone was engaged in it.
Anyways, the photo that NASA snapped of the Face was not created by aliens. If it was NASA would be looking for any form of life on my Mars instead of just calling it a natural landform.
It was just a landform that was created naturally like the ones on Earth.
In conclusion, I would like to say there is no actual evidence that aliens created the landform or that they exist. The Face was not created by aliens and is just made out of rock that happened to form into the shape of a face and as time goes on it looks less like a face.

[/INST] People think that aliens are real, but has any human being ever seen one? No they haven't. People just assume that aliens are real becuase of TV, comics, books, and movies, but in 1976, Viking 1 took a photo and saw a face on Mars. People think it was an alien life form that created this.
NASA used all there research and what they know to figure out what this was. Some people think that it was just an illusion created by shadows giving it eyes, nose, and a mouth. It reminds some people of landforms like Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho or any landform they think that comes close with it. It could've just been a metreo that hit Mars and formed it. I think it was just a natural landform.
We may never know what it truly is. There have been many weird things in space that we could never figure out. Some of those things are just normal stuff that happens in space and some people don't know that happens. It could've just been a normal thing that happen and everyone thinks it's a big piece of information of aliens.
People make hypothesis way to quickly based off of what they've seen and heard. Not all things are true. No one has truly seen an alien before and if there were aliens shouldn't have people already have seen one? Earth has been around for a long time and nobody has seen and alien life form.

[/INST] Around twenty-five years ago something obscure was found. NASA's Viking 1 was circling Mars and taking photos, little did they know that the would discover the Face.
The Face is indeed a natural landform. The Face is a rock formation with the characteristics of a human face, on the red planet Mars. The article states that the face is located 41 degrees north martian latitude where it was winter in April '98-a cloudy time of year on the Red Planet.
NASA has been trying to prove the face is indeed a real life occurance. They have worked real hard to get pictures. Mars Global Surveyor is mapping a spacecraft that looks straight down to scan the panet in a narrow 2.5 km-wide strip. They often do not passover the face but when they do they make the most out of it.
Many people have gone crazy for the Face. The Face has appeared in Hollywood movies, novels, magazine articles, radio alk shows, and even grocery stores during halloween. I guess you can say the Face has become the Face for Mars.
Scientist has proven tha the Face is real. The Face represents wha has been or whose to come onto Mars. It has been twenty-five years since the discovery of the Face. Let's hope there is more to come.

[/INST] I truthfully believe this is not created by aliens. Even if the artifact was created by aliens we have no proof of actually seeing them. NASA denies that there is not any other logical proof of aliens, but NASA's budget really wishes there was an ancient civilization. It would mean great publicity and further exploration into science. As a scientist learning about this you may believe anything within earshot. Whatever could seem logical, could not really be what is really right. Confusing as this argument sounds, I really believe that aliens never would have made this artifact. Could something like this happen? Do they really exsist?
Nature is different on mars, how is this effective? Mars has different climates and weather storms that we don't experience on earth. Maybe, the "face" is a weathered rock and when shadows cross over it it really looks like a face. Does that seem truthful enough to you? Or even believable? Sometimes when we look at clouds they can be different shapes as what we think they look like. To you, this is artifact that needs further examination. If we could excavate it from Mars we could further our studies on what truly made this rock really look like a face. How could this happen, you may ask? The cost of getting another spaceship to Mars and having a crew does cost alot of money, I understand. NASA made the last possible missions come true, would we be putting the people in that spaceship in danger?
Mars really isn't that safe, that may be why people dont life on Mars without a suit and oxygen tank. Because something bad could really happen up there, and we need contact with earth to tell whats going on. That may put people in danger sending the crew up there. We can only think and hope that the artifact was created by aliens. The face on Mars is an icon for magazines and movies like "The Martian" and books like "The Lunar Chronicles". A single dicovered thing can turn sellers into money-makers easliy. All these fanatsy in books and movies, really can make us believe what we believe.
Pictures say that shadows make it look like a face. To me the artifact looks like a giant rock, with holes in it. When the shadows of clouds do come along it looks like a face. We may reallly never know who, what, or how this confusing landmark was made. The whole solar system moves around the sun, sometimes they said that they couldnt find Cydonia. Its stuck behind the cloud storms, but this face is really a natural landform on Mars. Now pictures can be photoshopped can't they? If this really was a face why does it look the way it does? From early pictures they turned out blurry and you cant really see the face. I still dont see the face.
Some say the camera doesnt lie, well in this case it may. If aliens were there making these faces wouldnt there be more? it would be a culture to them, or a ceremonial thing. We may never know. All these questions have no answer to them. What is really happening on Mars? Why were the artifacts made, but its really something we will never understand.
If aliens did make the artifact where are they? Wouldnt we see something about them or some weird signals coming from them? Aliens dont really exsist, as much as the subject wraps around our brains, it really leaves us clueless on what we know and what we dont know. Since we really have no proof, I believe that aliens did not make this artifact, found on Mars. I could be wrong to some people, but i believe my claim is true. There really may be a civilization on Mars if we could really think about it and further our studies. But for now i believe this artifact is really just a weathered rock on the face of Mars.

[INST] You have read the article 'Unmasking the Face on Mars.' Imagine you are a scientist at NASA discussing the Face with someone who thinks it was created by aliens. Using information in the article, write an argumentative essay to convince someone that the Face is just a natural landform.Be sure to include: claims to support your argument that the Face is a natural landform; evidence from the article to support your claims; an introduction, a body, and a conclusion to your argumentative essay. [/INST] While discussing the image of the face with a co-worker, he thinks it was made by aliens,but I believe it is just a land form. I, believe that the face we see on mars is just a regular land form created as time has passed by. In paragraph two the secound sentance it says scientists figured it was just another Martian Mesa. Secound, in the 12 paragraph it says, what the picture acually shows is that is Martian equivalent to a butte or a mesa, land forms that are commonly found in the American West and even reminds Garvin of
"middle Butte" in the Snake River plain on Idaho. Also scientists have figured that Earth and Mars are very much alike in size and the tempature.
Mission controlers also visited the face several more times since the first photo was taken in 1976. Still after the first photograph was taken in 1976 in 1997 they took a even better photograph then what they had aready taken in 1976. I believe as technoology gets better and we make better cameras. Ibelieve that we acn get an even better photograph in the future. As photos get better and show more details we will be able to know how tall, how wide, and just the total length of the face.

[/INST] The Face is actually a natural landform. It's a huge rock formation which is also common in the American West. It's proven by Micheal Malin and his Mars Orbit Camera because it's ten time sharper than the orginal. All this mostly proves that it's not an alien monument.
When NASA reveal the image for everyone to see, the authors thought it's a good way to engage attention on Mars. According to the text, it stated, " huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadoes giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." This caption have brought attraction on Mars and books, magazines, radio talk shows, and Hollywood film has starred.
Most of the people thought of an alien comparacy but when Malin and his MOC team snapped a better view of it, it proves it wasn't an alien monument. According to the text, it stated, " And so on April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a oicture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos.
If it's not an alien monument, what is it? Garvin said it was a landform which reminds him of mostly Middle Butte. According to the text it stated," What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West."
The picture is a landform after all. Most might be disappointed that it's not an alien monument. It's also been proven by the pictures over the year they had taken of which mostly is not an alien monument. Again, it's a picture of a butte or mesa, which are common around the American West.

[/INST] 25 years ago, around Mars, a spacecraft from NASA was circling the planet.
It was taking pictures, until something strange happened. An enormous head appeared and seemed to be staring back at the camera.
A few scientists believed the Face, was made by an "alien." NASA has been discussing of what have may cause to make a face on Mars. We had millions of answers but didn't know which one was right.
Aliens did it. They are the ones who created the face! "Scientists believe the Face was an alien artifact." First of all, no one knows for sure what have may of caused it. It could've been the atmosphere, or it could've been an "alien." Scientists thought it was probably a "Martian mesa", only this one almost looked like an "Egyptian Pharoh." You see, the shadow gave an "illusion of eyes, nose and mouth."
It was a good way to attract the public to the attention of Mars. "There was no alien monument after all."
Thousand of people wondered and were curious about the Face on Mars. "On April 8, 2001 , Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look." Close enough, they could predict what the image appeared. "So, if there were objects in this picyure like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!" The pictured showed landforms most common , and you could relate to Earth. "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho," said Garvin.
In conclusion, from 1976 to 2001, no one knows exactly what does the Face mean. The sensation was short.
NASA says it could've been a "huge rock formation..." It became a popular icon. It has starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazine, radio talk shows." Some people think the Fcae is "bona fide" evidence life on Mars. BUt what do you think? Do you think it was made by an alien?
Do you believe that aliens do exisit? Well, were not sure . You see it coul be anything.

[/INST] What are your thoughts of the "Face on Mars"? I think it is just a natural land form. I think it's just a landform becuase Earth has it's own form like mountains, so it could just be a mountain. There could be other theories that it isn't a landform, but I think that's what it is and here is why. Earth has techtonic plates, Mars might too, so far, we haven't found existing life on any other planets other than earth so Martians couldn't have built something like the pyramids.
To start off, Earth has techtonic plates we have known about them for many years and we know that the plates are always moving. With the plates always moving that's what formed the Himalaya Mountains and is what casuses them to continue getting taller. I think the "Face" on Mars is just and example of techtonic plates that are costantly moving and making the "Face" more definant every few years. Just the same way as the Himalayan Mountains not every year do we see a direct change in height with just our eyes. We have to measure it out to find out how much those plate techtonics have moved. That is what I believe is happening with the face, I think that since we aren't able to view it every year and measure how much more defiant it is that the year before or if it has even changed.
There's two sides to every argument here's the other side. If the face hasn't changed we could just asume there was life on mars that built it, but as technology increases and we can have a better view of the face and see how much more defiant it was from 1976-2001. It would be a more logical idea to think that it is just the planet moving or plates shifting. SInce on April '98 it was a cloudy day and winter perhaps alien markings were hidden by the clouds.
Although, as I continued reading in the passage, on April 8, 2001 a cloudless summer day in Cydonia they were able to get a second looke at the Face. In 2001 the resolution was much better and you could see the image more clearly. Garvin said, "As a rule of thumg, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the airplanes on the ground or the Egyptian-style pyraminds or even small shacks, you could see what they were!" The picture actually shows the Martian equalicant of a butte or mesa landforms common around the West in America. Since the photo can go up to high amounts of resolution and we should be able to see of there is proof of Marian life and their buildings, I don't think a real thing. RIght now the face looks like a natural land form.
To conclude my argument that the face is just a natural landform, I would have to say even though, there are some conspircy theories only one thing can be proven to be correct in science. Earrth has techtonic plates and so there's a great chance Mars does to, then only thing that could lead anyone to belive there was life on Mars would be the one photo that was taken in April of '98 when it was cloudy and winter. Lastly, there hasn't been any evidenve of life on Mars or any other planet, so therefore it was just a natural landform on the planet.

[/INST] I know that the Face is a natural landform. I know for sure it was not made by aliens because aliens do not exist. We do not have a trace of alien lifeforms in our solar system. The Face was shaped into that form 25 years ago. We do not have proof that the Face was made by aliens. What it actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or messa-landforms common around the American West. Even though Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, it did shoot a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Mara Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look. They had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view. A person said " It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." Scientists say that each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters,compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo. They said if there were objects in the picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were.

"Since we do not have a real answer to how the face was made, if it was made naturally or even made by aliens which we all know do not exist, i suggest to just let the public get over it, says I" " But since the media and everyone around the world thinks that the aliens and the Egyptians were envolved in this, i say again to just let the media know that it was just a myth, says I"
" We should just let the media know that it was caused by natural causes by mars since thier are many storms their, says I." " the world should not be in panic, and that we have fewer problems and no aliens,says I"

[/INST] Unsual sightings happen all the time , some believe supernatural opions and others say it was naturally formed or some go to the extent to say mankind made it. I belived the "Face" was natraully formed. My support for this claim is that the "Face" formed into a face over several years let it be known that it was jus a rock when it was discovered now that was in 1976 come back several years later in 1998 its started to form into a shape. The discoverors come back in 2001 is starting to look like a face. Now my point is that if the "Face" was supernatraul it should've been made supernatrauly. What that means is that discoverors came back almost 2 decades ago and 2 years exactly after they first discovered it. Then they come back again 2 yrs later if its super natraul it should have been made quicker than that more efficient . People came back to the face 22 yrs later that sounds like 22 yrs later that it formed in that 22 yr time period. If aleins made it would probably not take that long to make if they can technology to fly billions of light years from here to there theycouldve made that face faster but thats my point it was made naturally not by aliens nor mankind it ws formed over the years and is now considered a natural land form.

[/INST] On May 24, 2001, NASA discovered a large, shadowy figure that resembled the shape of a human face on the surface of Mars. Some are to believe this figure was created by "aliens". Was it? Or is this mysterious likeness just something as normal as a natural landform?
Viking 1 photograph of the Face on Mars was taken in 1976. The camera's absolute maximum was 43 meters per pixel. By looking at the photograph, you wouldn't be able to make a definate conclusion about what exactly the figure was and how it got on the surface of Mars.
Later, on April 8, 2001, Mars Global Surveyor was able to capture a photograph with an absolute maximum of 1.56 meters instead of 43 meters per pixel like in the 1976 Viking photo. The picture was ten times sharper than the original Viking photo. Jim Garvin even said, "You can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size. So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!"
Garvin also mentioned that they don't pass over the figure as a face very often and that what the image actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-- landforms common around the American West.
Like I mentioned in the first paragraph; some are to belive this figure was created by aliens. Was it? Well, after receiveing all of NASA's evidental information, I would have to say it was not. The Face on Mars is just a natural landform created by natural causes; not aliens or even previous human life that may have once exhisted on the mysterious planet. People may have been hoping this was the time in history where aliens could've been discovered, but as we can tell, that moment in history is certainly and obviously not now.

[/INST] I think the rock that landed in mars was meybe because it had came from a diffrent place or maybe because the rock was to old or to heavy. The rock may have move to Mars or landed in Mars maybe because something hit it and it just went to a diffrent place and it landed in Mars.
The rock maybe have laded and make or had a face shape from the way it landed. Im not so sure if it had landed like that to make a face shape. That's what I am thinking, is that it was like that from the way it had moved or it had changed. Some pople are surprised that they haved found a human face in the or in a planet. I know its kinda wierd but u never know what could happen.
They say it had a human face. They say it had eyes and it had a nose and it had a mouth in the face. They should be scared because what if it was aliens that did that and that made the face. I would be scared but maybe it wasent the aliens maybe it was just regular. It just could've been Something regular or sothing natural that just happen.

[/INST] Being a scientist at NASA is very hard because you have to make sure that you are correct when talking about something important such as the Face. Many people like to make theories about subjects but nobody knows about the real information. Not unless we share it to the public, we will not share things we want to hide from everyone. The picture was not made by aliens and we explain why it is just a natural landform.
If I were to be a scientist at NASA I would tell the person that the Face is just a natural landform. There are many conspiracy theorists that claim we are trying to hide something, such as saying aliens made the Face. In the article it says
" evidence that NASA would rather hide " , that is correct. If the aliens did make it then we wouldn't have showed the public the photos. We would want to keep it out of newspapers, magazine, tv shows, and movies.
NASA would also never want lots of people to see the picture of the Face if they were to hid something. We would make the picture an enigma to the citizens of the world. Scientist in NASA have studied these for years and they have all the information. Also in the third paragraph in the article it tells us that there are some shadows that make the the Face get the illusion of having eyes and a nose. The third paragraph says " The authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars. " which is telling us that they want people to know more about Mars so we obvisouly wouldn't be showing the pictures if the aliens made it.
Although there were few scientist that believed the Face was an alien artifact, in paragraph seven it says
" ... a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all. " , NASA scientist take their jobs very serious. People continued to say the Face markings were made from aliens but the NASA scientist said it was just a natural landform and some of the pictures were made from the shadows. On April 8, 2001 it was a cloudless summer in Cydonia, Malin's team got an " extraordinary " picture of the Face because many people such as the theorists said maybe the alien markings were hidden behind the haze.
In the second paragraph NASA was excited to see if the Face was something sensational and the article says " Scientist figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia. " the only thing that made this one stand out was it has shadows that give it facial features such as a nose, eyes and a mouth. NASA soon showed the picture for all the people to see with a caption telling them what it was. NASA would not show the picture and make up something if the Face was really created by aliens.
In the very last paragraph the article tells us what the picture actually shows from what the scientist at NASA have gathered. Paragraph twelve says " What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa- landforms common around the American West. ". The scientist are telling us that the Face is just a landform, as a NASA scientist there is a lot of information about the Face and it was not made by aliens. NASA has got many photos of the Face and have also commented about what made it look like this.

[/INST] The Face was discovered forty years ago by scientists at NASA who saw the FAce for the first time and said it was a martian mesa. Later when the photo was released to the public conspiracy theorists believed the Face was an alien artifact, but the picture was taken on an older camera on the Viking I that the photo was fuzzy and no one could be sure of what was on the Face. Twenty-two years later another photo was taken with a camera ten times sharper than the original viking I photo. Still some people believed it was an alien artifact and the clouds on mars covered some alien markings that may have been covered by haze. Some theorists believed that NASA was trying to hide evidence of alien life on Mars. Others questioned theorists about why NASA would want to hide something like that and how it would benefit scientists at NASA. Three years later another team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolution. When conspiracy theorists saw the picture had no markings of alien origin and saw it was just a bute or mesa like landforms found in the American West.

[/INST] The "face" on mars is indeed not actually a face at all and it was not created by aliens. Many people may think it was. Based on all of the facts that we have gathered here at NASA, the claims of this rock formation being created by terrestrials is simply not true.
Here at NASA we have the equipment to tell us if it is terrestrial or not. One thing we discovered in our research was throughout the years that we have taken these photographs that the "face" has started to just look like a big rock. It was due to the shading that the "face" looked like it had eyes and a nose.
We also discovered that the rock formation is much like some of the formations here on Earth. All of the Earth formations were caused naturally and not by aliens. The fact that it was a cloudy season when the last picture was taken is true. Although in the picture we can see that it was clear.
In conclusion with all of the facts we have found this is indeed not a face created by aliens. There is enough evidence to tell us this. If it was an alien structure then we would benefit from it. We could learn about how advanced they were, but this was not created by aliens. It was simply just a messa or rock formation that looked like a face do to the sunlight that caused the shaded regions.

[/INST] Some people say that the "Face on Mars" is a natural landform. Others say it shows traces of civilzation on Mars in the past. There are many statements in the article that show evidence that the "face" is a landform, and not an actual face. I think it is a natural landform. Others say differently than I do.
There is plenty of evidence proving the "face" is a natural landform. The text states that the picture is actually a Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa. A butte or mesa is a landform that is common around the American West. Garvin says, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in thr Snake River Plain of Idaho." The Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho is a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa the same height as the "Face on Mars." This evidence proves that the "Face on Mars" is just a natural landform.
As you can see, there is planty of evidence proving that the "Face on Mars" is a natural landform. After seeing this evidence, I still believe that the "face" is a natural landform. Others may still feel different, even after seeing this evidence. All we can hope is that NASA eventually figures out if it is a natural landform, or a face.

[/INST] The face on Mars was spotted by a Viking 1 spacecraft. When the spacecraft was circling the planet and snap shotting photos of landing sites for Viking 2, it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face. The face was first dicovere in 1976. The last snapshot was taken in 2001.
Some people believe the face was made by aliens in Mars and aslo that it could possible be made by the atient Egypt. This face became a pop icon. The face has starred in Hollywood films and it has appeared in books and magazines. Some people think the face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars.
After all, the face is just a landform that the shadow had made it more like a face. There are no evidence where the face had other connections to be discovered. It was naturally formed by the land and the rock formation and also the shadows that made it look more like it.

[/INST] Have you ever seen a face on Mars? A landform has been found on a region of Mars called Cydonia. Many argue that the the Face is either a natural landform or a landform created by aliens. Many information from the article "Unmasking the Face on Mars" can help come to a conclusion. The "Face on Mars" is just a natural landform.
The first supporting evidence to the claim is that the face would benefit NASA if the Face was made by aliens like people said. Real evidence of aliens would be an informational outbreak. NASA would be credited for an outstanding discovery, so why would they hide a true theory from arguing skeptics?
Second, several other natural landforms are just like the Face on Mars. The picture shows its reseblence to landforms common around western America. Mars Global Surveyor, Garvin, stated, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." Also, The resemblence was "formed by shadows giving the illusion of" a face showing it is just a mesa.
Lastly, supporters of the alien theory believed the Face has alien markings that are hidden. They thought this because of wispy clouds in front of the camera taking the picture appeared. Because "you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size" anyone could see the alien markings they speaked of.
The alien conspirancy of the Face located on the Red Planet can be proven false. Details from "Unmasking the Face on Mars" can support it is just a natural landform, a mesa. These unknown, mysterious aliens people speak of did not build the Face on Mars.

[/INST] Why does NASA consider the "Face of Mars" to be a natural landform? They claim that the "face" is the Martian equivalent to a butte or mesa. There are multiple points of evidence that support this claim.
Firstly, NASA has traveled to the location multiple times, and photographed it extensively. In the passage, it is stated that NASA sent two different spacecraft to photograph the formation three different times. While Viking I's camera appears to capture a face-like structure, this is not the case. In the passage, it is said that to confirm that this was a natural occurence, NASA sent the Mars Global surveyor to capture another image. This image was much sharper, and appeared to favor the idea that the site was natural. Some people were not satisified due to a claimed "haze" that hid the structure during the cloudy, windy period on Mars. The Global Surveyor was sent back a second time, and this time, it captured clear, still images that are at the absolute maximum resolution. (About 1.5 meters per pixel.) This was more than enough to capture an image of any structures on the site, but none were found.
In addition, NASA has no reason to keep the public misinformed about the so-called "alien face." Quite the opposite actually, as NASA would benefit immensely from the funds that could be acquired using the publicity. If there was conclusive evidence supporting the claim the "alien face" was a monument constructed by ancient Martian civilizations and not just a natural formation on the planet, NASA would advertise the claim and it's evidence in an attempt to receive more funding.
On the other hand, I can see how some people could be fooled into believing that there was once a civilization on Mars. In the passage, NASA uses a caption that says the structure "resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth."
However, now that NASA has investigated the site and taken multiple photos confirming the site as a rock formation, the structure should be regarded as a regular Martian mesa that posseses an uncanny resemblance to a human face.
In conclusion, the "Face of Mars" has been proven to be little more than a large rock formation that simply bore an unnatural resemblance to a human face. The belief that it is otherwise a structure of ancient alien origin is unsubstantiated and incorrect.

[INST] You have read the article 'Unmasking the Face on Mars.' Imagine you are a scientist at NASA discussing the Face with someone who thinks it was created by aliens. Using information in the article, write an argumentative essay to convince someone that the Face is just a natural landform.Be sure to include: claims to support your argument that the Face is a natural landform; evidence from the article to support your claims; an introduction, a body, and a conclusion to your argumentative essay. [/INST] In 1976, the Viking 1 took a photo of what was thought to be a 'face' on Mars. The 'face' had a shadow that loomed over the formation; the shadow making it appear as a human face. NASA was thrilled when the Viking 1 captured the picture. A few days after the team found it, NASA reveiled the picture to the public.
Ever since the photo was published, theorists have speculated over what the formation actually was. Many were to believe that it was an alien structure. In fact, it actually is not. The 'alien artifact' is actually a mesa. Mesas are commonly found on planets such as Earth. There would be no possible way that the mesa would be an alien structure.
In the passage, NASA has been taking pictures of it from 1976, 1998, and 2001. Since then, the images have been sharper. In 2001, the picture clearly shows a mesa, not a face. When the latest photo was taken, Malin's team had made the digital picture three times sharper than the rest of the photos. He states that if you were to take a picture of pyramids or other formations, you would be able to clearly see what they were.
The 'Face on Mars' is just a conspiracy theory. No one can actually confirm that there is such thing to exist. If there was such thing on Mars, NASA would probably examine it a bit closer and may reveal to the public about it, but for now, we can only wonder if there really is a face on Mars.

[/INST] Some people say that "The Face on Mars" is something that was built by ancient aliens, much like the theories that people come up with about the structures on Earth. Some people have even stated that the "aliens" could be trying to cover it up by hiding it during the time they take it. Then there are the firm believers that this is just a land mass that consists of the surroundings and resembles a mesa type biome. Since there have been developments over time, showing the different variations of the "face" and what it has become over the years. There are different arguements and different points of view, but there are different time periods with different variations of the same thing, so it will be proven that is is a natural land mass, and not a martian made structure.
There is a lot of things that points toward this being a natural land mass and that it is not a Martian made structure, or that the Government is trying to cover it up. One thing that shows that it is a natural structure is when the article states, "Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough aroud Cydonia..." This means that there are multiple things like this, but the only things that make this one different is the fact that is has "unusual shadows" in it that make it look human or like a structure that was built. After this happened and people got news of it and figured out it wasn't real, the Conspiracy Theorists came out and made it seem like a cover up, but this isn't true, because NASA could have gotten publicity from it, as well as many funds. This mesa is no different from anything that we have in Western United States, there we have many mesas that could look equally as strange, but we don't bother, because we want to believe that there is other life, or that there is something strange going on in other planets.
Over the years, the images of this land mass have gotten more and more clear, and we have come to realize, that no, it is not a face, but it is a large point with shadowy parts in it. From the picture from 1976, it is really blurry, and you can't really tell what it is, which is what got people hopes up and thought it may be a structure, due to the shadows and the formation around it. The 1998 one is a bit clearer, but it still is a bit unclear of what it is or could be, because it does look like it could be something like the Sphinx in Egypt, but with the same formation around it. The 2001 image looks way more clear, and this one shows something completely different than what we expected, it is just a regular mesa, with cracks, dips and shadows, and the same formation around it as before. There is something you can tell about the 2001 picture though, if you look closely, it is the same image as all the others, because you can see the dips in it where the "eyes" and "mouth" are, just more clear so they don't really show up, and since everything is more clear, you can see the cracks, which could have added to the effect.
Even after all of the theories that were made, and NASA defending themselves, as well as people trying to prove them wrong, and prove that there was something that the government did to cover it up. All of this could still be fought, who knows, there could be life out there somewhere besides on Earth, but as of now, there is no proof, and this image will still remain a natural land structure. Some people are dissapointed by this, others are motivated to keep moving and possibly one day find some signs of life, so maybe humans would be prepped and set in case of disaster. There is nothing wrong with personal opinions, but for the most part and from what pictures and plenty of evidence have proven, this is still no more than a natural occurence do to the way land forms over time. So even though people may keep looking for any signs of something that could be a conspiracy, or you just want to find something "supernatural" or strange, but the fact stands that there are many thing like this, and just because it is on a different planet, does not make it anymore special, and it doesn't make it any different.

[/INST] The solar system has many interesting planets and those planets have many interesting landmarks. The Face on Mars just happens to be one of them. The face was found in a region of Mars called Cydonia. I feel as though it is a coincedence that a natural landmark on our neighborring planet looks like a human face. Many people say that The Face on Mars is just a legend, but we have scientifical proof of a face on Mars. The Face on Mars isn't an alien creation, but it is a natural landmark.
The Face on Mars is a natural landmark. It's a natural landmark because not only has it been there for a long time, but over the years we have found that it is a natural landform not an alien monument(JPL website). Many Hollywood movies have used the term "that face on Mars," but many people think that the face is evidence of life on Mars. Some scientists have compared the face to landmarks in the USA called buttes or a mesa. Many people also say that the face resembles an Egyptian Pharoah.
On the other hand, some people specifically NASA has used The Face on Mars as a way to show that some things are important for taxpayers to see. Like I mentioned before Hollywood has made many big selling movies about The Face on Mars. Also, many books and magazines have used The Face as a headliner. Some NASA defenders has said that they wish there was some sort of an ancient civilization on Mars to use as a motive.
The Face on Mars is a cool natural landmark. It was located in Cydonia an area of Mars. The Face isn't a legend at all. There is real scientific proof of a face. The Face on Mars isn't a hoax either. Many people think that it is a legend and a hoax, but it is a real natural landmark. The Face on Mars is not an alien creation, but it is a natural landmark. It deserves some attention.

[/INST] Is the Face on Mars real? In my opinion the Face on Mars is real. Here are my reasons why.
The Face on Mars is real because it can be a natural landform on Mars just like we have natural landforms on Earth. Now may I ask a question? How can ailens make a face on Mars? In the picture provided, it seems the face pops out and there is no evidence that a creature could have made a face with no flaws. In the article, a webiste states " thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on JPL web site, revealing...a natural landform."
I understand that people may have a theory about the face, but hence the word theory. Theory is just a guess with evidence supporting the claim, but is there enough evidence to support the Face? People from NASA have studied the Face since it first appeared in 1976. Since then, people have found claims and have had facts about the face proving it is just a natural landscape.
How did the face appear? There can be many reasons on how the face appeared on Mars. There could have been a storm on Mars that caused the ground to move upright and form the Face. The face could have been on Mars since Mars was created and NASA just never payed enough attention until 1976. I do not believe an ailen created the Face on mars.
Is the face on Mars real? Keep that question in your head. I believe this essay has provided enough evidence proving the Fac on Mars is just a natural landform. That's just my opinion. What's your opinion?

[/INST] The Face on Mars is very interesting. For many years people have thought it was aliend created. But our photographs clearly show the Face on Mars is not alien created because we have the best cameras we could get, but in 1998 they had the best cameras they could get but they were very weak, and the Face is a natural landform.
In 1998 the cameras they had were very weak they weren't like are cameras today. They are only fourty three meters per pixel which is not a lot. The cameras also captured shadows, so that interfeared with the picture and could make it look like something else. Also the cameras were weak and not very strong.
The Face on Mars is also just a natural landform, formed by the winds and rocks and the planet moving. It's also a big rock which is in the shape of an oval which is probably why people think it was alien created. Also the shadows were there because of how weak the cameras were in 1998. The landform the rock formation is called is a mesa.
Also in 2001 we had way better cameras than in 1998. Are cameras were stronger. They also had less pixels per frame. The pixels per frame were 1.56 which is great. The camera also zoomed in and could see the Face on Mars close up. The camera also took a nice clear photo rather than the one in 1998.
Because our photographs show you that the Face on Mars is a mesa. We concluded that it is not an alien created face. The image can clearly show you how it looks and that there is no face at all.

[/INST] The face on Mars could have not been by alien's because there was no alien monument at all. It is a rare thing to see something like that on a planet that has a lot of rumors of aliens. Yet you can still say or predict this wasn't an alien act.
After we saw the face on Mars we had to get more pictures of it. That might not change your mind, and you still might think it was an act of alien's ,but check this out. In paragraph 3 it says that it was a huge rock formation. It resembles a human head formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth. This could possibly mean that it's the angle you are looking at it. If you were looking at the "head" from a diffrent angle it would probably not even look like a head anymore. This is a reason why it could not have been from aliens.
In paragraph 2 it says that when the face appeared on their monitors they were surprised. Even though the sensation was short lived, scientist figured it was just another martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia. Only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh. You may be asking, "Why dont you target Cydonia?'. The answer is it's hard work. In fact its very difficult work. The reason we don't target Cydonia is because, "We don't pass over the face very often," says Garvin in paragraph 9.
On April 8, 2001 a nice day in Cydonia We finally got a second look at it. "We had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the face in the field of view," said Garvin. They captured another photo finally with one of their best camera's.
Now you are probably asking yourself what does this have to do with aliens. The picture shows the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West. Meaning that it wasn't an alien act. It was a huge rock formation.

[/INST] "How could you think it is created by aliens, it is obviously just a natural landform," I said. PROPER_NAME said "But how could it be natural, the odds of that happening are like one in a million." "JPL already has proof that it is just natural, they said it was a butte or mesa, landforms common around American West, besides, do you truly think there are little green guys with really big foreheads and wierd eyes just walking around mars. I mean I don't want to sound mean, but if you truly think that, then there is something going on in your head that isn't quite healthy," I said. PROPER_NAME came back with,"How could you be so selfish to say that everthing on earth are the only living things in the universe, and by the way, there isn't anything wrong with me in the head, there might be with you if you are that selfish. I thought youre Mother raised you right." I argued, "There is no way any life form could have a face two miles from end to end, that is just obserd. Plus, if you think that there is just some hidden life form out there surviving and making places to live, than how do you sleep at night.'' "I sleep just fine at night thank you very much. And yes, I do think there could be something like that out there, and it is not obserd or..." I interfered,"I just can't believe you would think this ignorantly, I have known you for fifteen years,and you are the smartest human being I know." "if there is life on Mars and you don't believe me, you will be sorry you ever spoke to me."

[/INST] Hello, my name is Lisa, and i'm a scientist here at NASA. I have heard that you claim that aliens have created this landform we found on Mars.
There has not been any life found on Mars at this momment. It does look like it could be from another living organism, but it's just a rock on the planet. In our newest image of the rock, it turns out that the face has dissapered. There is no evidence of this being created by aliens, rather it was created by wind and water that has been found on Mars. The reason you might believe that this was indeed aliens, might be the fact that the news has blown it out of poportion. It's just the rock that had some interesting shadows and holes that made it look like a human face.
In conclusion, all i'm trying to say is that it cannot be aliens, it's just a rock on Mars. Thank you for your time.

[/INST] Giant human face discovered on Mars! NASA phototgraphed an image of a landform on Mars specifically a region called Cydonia that showed the feature of a human face. Some think that Face was created by aliens. Although scentific evidence proves that the Face is a natural land form.
When the Face first got phototgraphed NASA "unveiled the image for all to see." in an attempt to get people to be more interested in mars. "Some people think that the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars- evidence that NASA would rahter hide, say conspiracy theorist." Yet the article goes on th say "Few scientis belebed that Face was an alien artifact..." This means that many scientiss knew that the Face was a landform form the very beginning but only used it to get money for NASA to research more about Mars. Not only this but the weather was not an ideal time for the image to be taken.
When the image was taken it was at a certain time, year, and season. " this on had unusual shadows..." means that the sun was not hitting it deredctly to elliminate any shawdows that were there. "But not everyone was satisfied. The Face on Mars is located at 41 degrees north...where it was winter in April'98-a cloudy time of the year on the Red Plant." This proves that the weather does have an effect on the image. Not only that but the image taken at this time was cloudy and reveladed a natural landform. The article goes on to say "a cloudless summmer day in Cydonia- Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look...Malin's tean captured an extrodinary photo using the carmera's absolute maximum resoluiton." Meaning that the image was as clear as it could be and there were no clouds to make the image blurry. "What the pictue actually shows is the Martian equvialent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West." This proves that landforms like these were also seen on Earth and alien did not make it. Plus landforms like it had been seen on Earth
Further more, this is not the first time a natural landform has been seen on Mars. In the passage it is stated "Scienetist figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one has unusual shadows that made it look like a Egyptian Pharaoh." This means that in the location where the Face was discovered landforms were common and nothing more than natural.
An image of a face was photographed on Cydonia. NASA proved that the Face is only a natural landform on Mars and with enough eveidence to support it. The giant "human" face is just another natural landform and most definatly wasn't created by aliens on Mars.
