Phoenix Picture of Mars Surface... New Cydonia Face?

I poked around NASA's website today looking for new pictures of the Martian surface by the Phoenix Lander. I found something that may be of interest to everyone. First, take a look at the following NASA link to the picture in question: jpl.nasa.gov...

Now, download a larger image (link at bottom left) of this picture. You'll need to view it in decent software that will allow for generous enlargement. Look at the bottom right corner of the picture, specifically the first substantial rock you see (the one with a slight shadow). Enlarge the rock. An image appears... almost like the Cydonia Face from many years ago. Some may consider this a stretch while others see it because it is obviously there. Take a look and see for yourself.

I have taken the liberty of placing these pictures on the net with a direct link. Use them if you like: NASA Original Pic 1 = www.davidcwebb.com...

Rock in Question Pic 2 = www.davidcwebb.com...

Close-up of Cydonia-like Face Pic 3 = www.davidcwebb.com...

This can be replicated very easily by anyone reading this thread by using the picture directly from the NASA site and regular software. What I find quite interesting is that, as of earlier this afternoon, NASA will not allow a full download of this picture at its highest resolution. As you will see, the rock location I've specified has been mysteriously redacted from the picture. It could be a glitch on NASA's site; or maybe something else; not sure. Anyway, give it a look...

Nice Ink Blots! Maybe I SHOULD get my head checked.

Yep, it's a definitely a small rock... that just so happens to have a face on it. If somebody can see the Virgin Mary on a piece of toast www.msnbc.msn.com... surely one can see a face on this stupid little rock. ;-)

Not seeing it... As for why the portion of the image has been, as you put it, "redacted," I couldn't say. It does look more like a glitch in the download, more than anything.

Also, you'll have to remember the Cydonia "face" was nothing more than an effect caused by Viking 1 not having the greatest of cameras. When the Mars Global Surveyor checked out the area it's pretty obvious that that was nothing more than a collection of rocks viewed under what is now poor resolution.

One more thing, it's pretty natural for people to see faces in objects. It's just how the mind is wired. Keep looking though, eventually you may find something.

Please stop posting these pictures about rocks and finding faces and pyramids and statues out of them. It's blocking the little serious discussion what we can have on these kind of matters.

We've seen some interesting anomalies here, but this is not unfortunately one of them.
