HiRISE is the most powerful camera ever sent to another planet, and it has provided a plethora of incredibly detailed images of Mars's features. Sunlight illuminates the images from the left/lower left. The large 'face' picture covers an area about 3.6 kilometers (2.2 miles) on a side. If present on Mars, objects the size of typical passenger jet airplanes would be distinguishable in an image of this scale. we could be left without high-resolution pictures of the face and other structures unless. The resulting image has a resolution of about 2 meters (6.6 feet) per pixel. to the website of NASAs High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment, or HiRISE. When the Viking 1 spacecraft arrived at Mars in July 1976. The mission launched in 2005, arrived at Mars in 2006 and has been monitoring Mars ever since. After a 1976 photo of the face on Mars gained popularity and provoked. The newly released image is stitched together from 142 photos, revealing the rim of the Jezero Crater as well as a cliff face of an ancient river delta in the distance. MRO is one of NASA's oldest and longest-lasting spacecraft. This thermal erosion has made the "mouth" of the face larger, and the "nose" – which consisted of two circular depressions in 2011– has now grown larger and merged. You'll also see some of the "blobby" features have changed shape due to the heat of the Sun causing sublimation – when a solid turns directly into a gas, bypassing the liquid phase.

There are color variations that are due to different amounts of bright frost over darker red ground, according to the HiRISE team. The first of these images was taken in 2011 and the other in December of 2020, at roughly the same season, and show a few different changes. the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) on the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft successfully acquired a high resolution image of the Face on Mars feature.
