Mars: The Missing ‘Bald Man’ Formation!

Do you notice in the picture (Left), a geological formation that resembles the head of a bald man? But what’s surprising is that the earlier image taken by Viking (Right) has the ‘head’ missing! Check out both the images and you’ll see what I mean.



Now the question is how come the terrain has changed in the period between Viking and the MGS? Does this difference imply that there has been image tampering by NASA, sanitizing the Viking data?


Or is it because the clarity of the older Viking image, which is a mosaic of a number of images spliced together representing the technology level of the 1970s. But it does look crisper than the MOC image!

Probably it’s just light and shadow effect.

What do you think?

Cheers!

Yeah my vote is for different lighting conditions making the same features look slightly different. The round feature is still visible, just not as prominent in the older Viking image.

Well it is very windy there and the light and shadows are different. Combination of those PLUS the different cameras. Actually I see a lot of differences from each pic not just the bald spot. (going bald sucks by the way)

I easily spotted the face of the bald man in a different thread not labeled. If you look on the left of your pic next to the bald head, I see a woman with a mask on. Quite detailed too. The eye of the woman is easily recognizeable. Anyone else see it?

LOL, maybe Atlantis is rising out of the sand! Cayce would be all over this one! Seriously though, we need people on Mars, hopefully people that can think for themselves and not what they are told to think

There seems to be plenty of image tampering on many of the mars photos, kinda silly though if they would have edited something earlier that they "forgot" to edit later on... possible I suppose but it could be just that the "head" was covered on the last pass and has been uncovered between then and now.

Actually, I can see the features that made up the bald man in the newer, more detailed pic. We're talking a huge difference in resolution here. The same as the old "face" pictures and the newer, more detailed ones.

I don't think there is any tampering at all, just higher resolution giving you more detail.
