mooeypoo Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hello. A sample of some images on my website. Study carefully. Remember, These images are directly from the ESA/Mars Express website. All I did was to enlarge them 1.5X to 2.0X, seperate colors, adjust contrast, and some filtering... [PICTURES REMOVED FROM QUOTE] Here are a few very good articles for you to consider, KS: http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/hoagland/ http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/2006/09/21/hoagland-still-wrong-about-face-on-mars/ And consider the effect called "Pareidolia": http://www.physics.smu.edu/pseudo/Observ/ http://skepdic.com/pareidol.html The term pareidolia (pronounced /pæraɪˈdoʊliə/), referenced in 1994 by Steven Goldstein,[1] describes a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon, and hidden messages on records played in reverse. The word comes from the Greek para- — beside, with or alongside — and eidolon — image (the diminutive of eidos — image, form, shape). Pareidolia is a type of apophenia. Source: Wikipedia((Yes, it's wikipedia, but it's a decent start - the resources in that specific article are pretty good)). And finally, this is a REALLY awesome video about "man on the moon" photos and Pareidolia: So: The brain is far from perfect. We evolved to see and recognize patterns when images aren't really there. The images you shared with us show different shapes and lose their "effect" when taken from a different angle. And lastly, having such 'shapes and faces' on mars has a bigger meaning than just paredolia... it has implications on history, "UFOlogy" and science in general. So allow me to remind you that "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". Having a face on mars means there are intelligent life in the universe that visit(ed/ing?) us is quite extremely extraordinary. Images that only look the way they do in one angle and from a specific enlargement are not sufficient evidence. ~moo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNow Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 So, he has no answers, and he's trolling... should I act shocked or just surprised? I see it more as spam for his site than trolling. I saw a purple unicorn in one of his pictures, which is clear insight that leprechauns are up there performing fellatio on one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
