TL;DR Summary

NASA's Juno probe captured an image of a cloud formation on Jupiter that resembles a face filled with angst and dread. The image was taken during Juno's 54th close flyby of the planet, revealing intricate cloud patterns in the region known as Jet N7. Scientists study these features to better understand Jupiter's storms and atmospheric dynamics. The phenomenon of pareidolia, where humans recognize familiar shapes and features, often leads to the identification of recognizable forms in the Jovian clouds. The image is available for download on the NASA website.
