"NASA's Juno Probe Captures Eerie Halloween Image of Jupiter's 'Face'"

TL;DR Summary
NASA's Juno spacecraft captured a spooky "face" on Jupiter during a recent flyby, just in time for Halloween. The image, taken on Sept. 7, shows swirling clouds and turbulent storms in a region called Jet N7, resembling an eerie, elongated face. The photo was released on Oct. 25, coinciding with Picasso's birthday, and was compared to a Cubist portrait. The image was processed by a citizen scientist using raw data from JunoCam. Swirling clouds on Jupiter are a result of its turbulent weather systems, and the phenomenon of pareidolia causes observers to perceive faces or patterns in random formations.
