The planet's roiling clouds came together to form a bizarre and spooky face just in time for the scariest celebration of the year.
Just in time for Halloween, a spooky face has been spotted hiding in plain sight on the surface of one of our planetary neighbors.In the Jet N7 region of Jupiter, in the far north of the massive planet, this bizarre face was spotted hiding in the clouds.The face was caught on camera by NASA's Juno mission on September 7, 2023, during its 54th close flyby of Jupiter.
The image was snapped from around 4,800 miles above the clouds.The phenomenon of seeing human faces in inanimate objects is known as pareidolia, which scientists have recently discovered is more common in women who have just given birth.Our brains seem to look for faces in everything, and occasionally spot them in unusual places. This explains why cosmic images often appear uncannily similar to faces or objects here on Earth.
