The more cameras we straighten or even send it into the vastness of the solar system, the more comprehensive our treasure of the photo of foreign planets. So also in the case of Mars. If you want, you can digitally pass the time on our neighboring planet for hours. And he or she will inevitably discover familiar things: faces, geometric shapes, objects, doors, heads, all and more.This discovery recently caused turmoil on the Internet:

What is it all about? Is it remaining life -rotting life and decaying technology? Do we see the traces of underlying alien civilization there?
The well -known astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tysongoes these questions in a YouTube videoto the bottom.We present the X reasons for you, which is why we should not always trust our eyes if we look for aliens (cities).
Nature can be geometrically and angular
Although we rightly link nature with irregular and organic forms, the angular and repeating forms do not rule out. Thus, as Neil Degrasse Tyson explains, water can be milled into rocks and angles of all kinds in rock for thousands of years. And Mars once had tons of it on the surface. It is currently largely below the surface:
The above on X, once Twitter, can also be explained. In addition, this is only really noticeable when it is emphasized what our brain offers extra feed.
Pareidoly: Our brain tricks us out
The human brain can recognize excellently - and that almost wherever enough optical chaos comes together. It hardly plays a role in whether that consists of clouds, plants, rocks or sand. The phenomenon means: Pareidoly, Greek forTo
: Next to/against andEidolon
: Picture/shape.
Our brain quasi as a auto -correction on the computer using what we see. In our heads, a modified form of reality is created in a second fraction. The purpose serves our perception. It should accelerate in the event of danger so that we can react quickly to danger. Only it leads to unwanted conclusions in situations or fields where prudence would be advisable. Pareidolia sometimes tempts us to assist.
If you want to try it out using a simple, repeatable example, test itAt this generator for point images. You will quickly see familiar with confusion in a tangle.
An important beneficiary of Pareidoly are faces. We see them particularly often in all sorts. Researchers believe that the reason for this is the importance of the (again) recognition of people for our social interaction. Our brain just exaggerates it, but in the end it has proven itself evolutionary to be able to discover familiar things anywhere.
For example, you can do more about the phenomenon of PareidoliaRead with the mirror.
Light and shadow
A special helper of such illusions can be found in the game of light and shadow. The most famous example of this is the Mars face. In 1976 the probe shotViking 1
Probably one of the most famous photos of space research. In the Mars region of Cydonia, the shadow throw on a mountain gave the impression that it was a face carved in the rock (viaGermany radio).
Many opportunities bring chance
Ultimately, according to Neil Degrasse Tyson, all of these phenomena are a result of chance that results automatically when we just let up nature on a correspondingly large area - and Mars has it. The entire surface of the planet is roughly as large as the current land area of the earth. So to a certain extent, as if we simply put all the continents and islands together in one pile.
Therefore, it is not surprising that, in the case of almost innumerable many occasions, angles and light constellations, something supposedly familiar appears in photos. Many more examples havethe Mercury put side by side in a gallery.
But even without aliensremainsThe Mars exciting: SpaceX is currently working first with his starship on an ability to bring people to Mars soon. Only a few weeks ago.

The editors' opinion:Ultimately, it remains a balancing act. We have to be curious, but also remain aware that every look is subjective. Without the desire to discover new things and trace the puzzles of the universe, we would be crucial as humanity. But every progress must be carefully and according to scientific standards, otherwise we will run blindly after or before fears of it.
