NASA has released an image showing Jupiter with an eerie “face” on the surface just in time for Halloween.
The image shows turbulent clouds and storms along Jupiter’s terminator, the dividing line between the day and night sides of the planet. Jupiter’s swirly clouds lend themselves to pareidolia, the effect that causes observers to perceive faces in random patterns. Citizen scientist Vladimir Tarasov made this image using RAW data from the JunoCam instrument. At the time the RAW image was taken, the Juno spacecraft was about 4,800 miles above Jupiter’s cloud tops, at a latitude of about 69 degrees north.
“We present the @NASASolarSystem image to you on Oct. 25 — what would have been Picasso’s 142nd birthday,” NASA wrote in a Twitter post .
