A few hours after releasing the distorted, low contrast image known as the "cat box" to the international media, NASA posted a very different image of the MGS "Face" (SP1-22003) on their web site. (figure 1) This image had the distortion corrected and the contrast enhanced. In the newly rectified image of the "Face" the most startling feature besides the distinguishable eyes, nose, and mouth was the presence of an elaborately styled headdress. When the new "Face" is split into two halves and mirrored, Hoagland's anticipated sphinx-like attributes of the Martian "Face" become startlingly evident (figure 2).
