Jupiter sports a chagrined-looking face. <\/p>\n
The Man in the Moon isn't the only time we've spotted a face on an extraterrestrial body. Citizen scientist Jason Major rotated an image of Jupiter snapped by NASA's Juno spacecraft and created an instant classic: \"Jovey McJupiterface.\" The new twist on the image makes it look like Jupiter has two white eyes and a distressed mouth. <\/p>\n
The \"eyes\" are storms and the gas giant's swirling atmosphere gives the face personality, like a celestial Edvard Munch painting. Jupiter is home to a series of huge rotating storms that look like white spots and are known as \"pearls.\" <\/p>\n
The Juno spacecraft launched on its mission to study Jupiter in 2011. NASA makes the raw camera images available to the public and highlights the results in a fascinatingimage-processing gallery. <\/p>\n
\"JunoCam images aren't just for art and science sometimes they are processed to bring a chuckle,\" NASA notes in a Friday release for the \"Jovey McJupiterface\" image. <\/p>\n
