Summary
The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydonia_(region_of_Mars)" class="extiw" title="en:Cydonia (region of Mars)">“Face on Mars”</a> was one of the most striking and remarkable images taken during the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_1" class="extiw" title="en:Viking 1">Viking</a> missions to the red planet. Unmistakeably resembling a human face, the image caused many to hypothesize that it was the work of an extraterrestrial civilization. Later images revealed that it was a mundane feature rendered face-like by the angle of the Sun.
