NASA Captures Eerie Halloween Image of Jupiter's Spooky 'Face'

NASA's Juno spacecraft captured a spooky "face" on Jupiter during a recent flyby, just in time for Halloween. The image shows swirling clouds and turbulent storms on the planet, forming an eerie, elongated frowning face. The photo was released on October 25th, coinciding with Picasso's birthday, and NASA compared the haunting view to one of his paintings. The appearance of the face is due to the planet's turbulent weather system and the effect of pareidolia, where observers perceive faces or patterns in random formations. This is not the first time such phenomena have been spotted in space, with previous instances including a bear's face on Mars and an "alien doorway" rock formation.
