The 'Face On Mars' was first seen by the Viking Orbiter in 1976. Newer images from the Mars Global Surveyer (2001) in higher definition show that it was mostly an optical illusion and the result of lighting. The human eye is trained to recognise faces, but in this case it is just a natural landscape feature.

The "Face on Mars" is actually a natural rock formation on the Martian surface known as the Cydonia region. Subsequent high-resolution images from other spacecraft have shown that the face-like appearance was a result of shadows and angles. It is an example of pareidolia, where our brains perceive familiar patterns in random shapes.

The "Face on Mars" was a formation captured by Viking 1's camera, but further imaging by spacecraft like the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter showed it to be an eroded mesa. It was a trick of light and shadow that created the illusion of a face, and subsequent images have debunked the idea of it being a man-made structure.
