Subject: Face on Mars: The Invisible Man
Just got this from Ron Baalke at JPL. Let the outraged cries of "coverup" 
begin...
*******************************************************
From: Ron Baalke 
Here's are the processed Mars Global Surveyor images of the Cydonia region:
http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/PIAGenCatalogPage.pl?PIA01236
This shows two strips of data, the raw image is on the left, and the
processed image is on the right. The "Face" is well lit and
shows no deep shadows that was exhibited in the Viking images. In the 
higher-resolution MGS image, the "Face" is just an ordinary looking hill, 
and with no shadows there are no facial features present at all.
In this image:

The "Face" has been rotated to appear in the same orientation as the
Viking image. Again, nothing out of the ordinary.
The original Viking image is here:
http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/PIAGenCatalogPage.pl?PIA01141
You can compare the Viking image with the Mars Global Surveyor image.
MGS took the image of the "Face" from a different viewing angle than
Viking, but you can line up the nearby craters to see how they compare.
