The “Face on Mars” is not a real artificial structure—at least, not according to current scientific consensus.
The famous image that sparked this fascination was taken on July 25, 1976, by NASA’s Viking 1 orbiter as it mapped the Martian surface. In the region known as Cydonia, one photo showed what looked strikingly like a human face—complete with eyes, a nose, and a mouth. The public and some researchers quickly latched onto the idea that this could be evidence of an ancient Martian civilization.
However, this interpretation is a classic case of pareidolia—a psychological phenomenon where humans see familiar patterns, like faces, in random shapes or images.
