In 1976, NASA's Viking 1 Orbiter spacecraft photographed a small patch on the surface of Mars.  The shadows from one of the mesas gave many the impression of a human face.

"It's a manifestation of over-learning” sais Takeo Watanabe of Boston University. “We've over-learned human faces so we see them where they aren't."

The ability to take in visual cues and basically fill in the blanks allows humans to process information very quickly, but new research shows that it also can lead to misperceptions – like seeing things that are not there. “Learning has been regarded as only good for us,” Watanabe said. “But the downside is if you learn something too well you may not see what is really there.”
