NEW MGS FACE IN CYDONIA ANALYSIS
The image of the Face in Cydonia taken by the MGS spacecraft has been analyzed by this writer to have the following shortcomings:
1. The initial image presented to the public and the news media which printed it, show the image presented as the "flipped" version. In other words if the image had annotation on it, the annotation would be read as the mirror image.
2. The side that we have always seen in sunshine on the Viking images 35A72 and 70A13 is now in darkness, and therefore, very little detail can be seen unless a contrast stretch in this darkness is done to reveal some detail, but like the Viking images, the detail in the dark areas could be overly stretched to produce artifacts which are really not there. The tall spiked peaks on the dark side of the Face are just such artifacts.
3. The image was taken as an angular shot to the side at a displacement of 45 degrees to the vertical. The images of the Face by the Viking spacecraft were taken directly overhead at 90 degrees to the vertical. The Face appeared at almost dead center in 35A72 (that is why IMHO the Face looks best in 35A72), and the Face appeared off to the upper right corner of 70A13 (that is why IMHO the Face is slightly different in perspective ratio as 35A72). Most all of the images of Viking, and ALL of the images of MGS were taken directly overhead, not off to the side at 45 degrees to the vertical as this ONLY image of the Face taken by MGS. The first clue to this angular perspective was seen in the oblong shape of the small crater to the lower left side of the Face. In the Viking images, this crater is as round as a "soup bowl", and the shallow curvature of the terrain in the center of the crater was seen as a rolling smooth curved surface. In the MGS photo, this oblong crater appears to have a stack of peaks in its center. IMHO I do not believe that these peaks are actually there, and the crater is round not oblong. Likewise, many of the peaks in the central area of the Face, may also not be peaks, but might be artifacts of the MGS imaging.
4. The side that was in shadow in the Viking images, and that which we have never seen is now lighted in the MGS images, and is only a narrow portion representing less than 25% of the Face object on the right. By "rotating" as the Malin group has done, these pixels on the lighted side are effectively stretched out. Hence the image that was later presented by the Malin group. But now all of the peaks are present but none of the valleys, and all of these peaks are stacked up like a deck of cards and stretched out. Mark has also done further "rotation" to give the Face a more correct geometric look. The fact is that in much of the space on the lighted side there have been substituted data of the "peaks" and not the "valleys", so it is somewhat difficult to see the rolling contour of the surface features between the peaks.
5. A similar study of this type of angular type of "stacking the deck" can be seen in this scenario: If you have ever seen a baseball game on television where a picture of the pitcher, the batter, and the catcher taken from the outfield are shown in the scene, you will notice that all three of the players are "stacked up" like a deck of cards, and nothing in the "valleys" between them can be seen, only some "peaks". Obviously, there is a lot of grass and some roll in the ground which is obscured by the mound. In addition, most of any point on each of the players is returned to the camera as nearly a parallel line of sight; there is no perspective view. This causes further distortion in aspect ratio, because some features may be sized differently from others, but from this "parallel projection" , the size ratio cannot be determined.
6. There have been a number of details found in the "head dress" area of the Face just above the eyebrows. These include a "lazy X" which is centered above the nose, a vertical object bisecting the lazy X, and other "ornaments" in this area.
7. Dr. John Brandenburg and I have called Dr. Dan Goldin’s office at NASA headquarters, and asked for two more shots to be taken directly overhead; one in morning sunshine, and one in evening sunshine.
8. I firmly believe that the image made by MGS at the 45 degree angle renders very little in additional data of the central portion of the Face, and nothing of the side we have never seen. The image is useful only in verifying the bilateral symmetry of the Face in the verification of the profound hairline around the Face, and the symmetry of the objects found on the forehead. If further images are not produced by this MGS or other spacecraft, it is my declaration that the Face cannot be "proved" or "disproved" as being "artificial" or "natural".
DYNAMIC RANGE OF MGS - The single image made by the MGS of "the Face on Mars" lacks the dynamic range of gray shades rendering an apparent larger pixel size than the 4.32 m/pixel as advertised. At 14% of the 256 gray scale range, it is hardly acceptable to resolve any detail, with only 40-45 gray values made available, especially with one side in darkness, reducing further the gray shade spread of values. Pixels of slight variations would be represented by the nearest rounded off value, thereby losing the definitions of gray shades which would define an edge or other detail. The result would be a very large ratcheted pixel.
It would be desirable for two more shots to be taken directly overhead by MGS; (90° instead of 45°), one in morning sunshine, and one in evening sunshine. The gray scale dynamic range setting should be greater than 50% of the 256 gray step capability of the A/D converter in the camera which is adjustable by increasing the gain of the amplifier of the camera. The picture that was made by MGS with the reduced gain of the op-amp on the camera does not allow definition of any details in the dark regions which is most of the area nearest the camera of the dark side. It is possible that the teeth would again be visible if another picture from directly overhead were made using a higher gain to the camera amplifier. The single image of the object taken at 45°, seems to have prevented a fair assessment of the object. I believe that taking two more images as I have described might be able to put this two decades controversy to rest. Whether the object shows work of intelligent design, or just an ordinary mesa, (I would gladly say either), the issue could be resolved if these images will be made and the results confirm this information one way or the other.. STRANGE PHENOMENON - The element - XENON129 was first disclosed by Dr. John Brandenburg. The second generation of a radioactive component produced when nuclear fission occurs is found in abundance in Mars’ atmosphere. Fission such as that from a reactor or bomb produces IODINE129 which has a half life of 17 million years releasing beta particles and XENON129 gas which is stable and lasts forever. These very same elements are present when there is nuclear fission. The accepted scientific explanation for why Mars even has any XENON129 is only a theory: Billions of years ago before the sun and solar system formed, there may have been a supernova which produced the IODINE129 which later transformed into XENON129. Detection of these elements are found all over the solar system, and on the solar system bodies that were probed. The mystery to this theory is that there is a much larger quantity of these elements found on Mars. Relative to Xenon-130, there is 3 times more Xenon 129 on Mars than on Earth! Where did all of the
extra XENON129 come from?? and why on Mars?Sincerely,
