NASA spacecraft catches 'eerie face' on Jupiter
Fox News
NASA's Juno spacecraft captured a unique and "eerie" cloud formation during a close flyby of Jupiter, catching a picture that seemingly looked like a face in the clouds.
"The image shows turbulent clouds and storms along Jupiter’s terminator, the dividing line between the day and night sides of the planet," a description of the image reads. "The low angle of sunlight highlights the complex topography of features in this region, which scientists have studied to better understand the processes playing out in Jupiter’s atmosphere."
NASA goes on to explain that what people see in the image is an example of pareidolia, which the space agency explains as "the effect that causes observers to perceive faces or other patterns in largely random patterns."
