Cydonia’s ’Face on Mars’ in 3D animation

Cydonia’s ’Face on Mars’ 3D animation was produced through a ’mash-up’, or combination of digital data, from the DLR-operated HRSC and NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor camera (MOC), in a technique similar to that used to create the Cydonia ’Face’ 3D still images published on the DLR web portal in September 2006. The 3D animation starts looking towards the East, and finishes with a still image looking South.
