"The bear's face" - MRO - HiRISE - Magnification and colouring via AI.
This image was taken by the MRO through HiRISE on 12 December 2022 from an altitude of 250.9 km, the circular area should be about 2 km in size. The colouring and magnification was done by artificial intelligence. The curious shape of this part of the Martian orography is very reminiscent of a bear. The curious V-shape of the central hill is very reminiscent of the nose and mouth of a plantigrade. Note the protrusion of a rock reminiscent of a bear's tooth. The two northernmost craters are reminiscent of the bear's eyes, while the circular subsidence of the whole area defines the contours of the face.
It is just pareidolia, the human brain trying to derive meaning from what it sees. A real freak of nature. The file is available for download at 668.74 million pixels at 25860x25860 pixels.
