<\/p>\nNASA has revealed a picture of a creepy face staring back at us from the great beyond \u2013 but being able to see it could mean you're in a particular mental state.<\/p>\n
The US space agency uploaded the remarkable image to social media and even cracked a gag claiming it looked like a painting by Picasso. Whether or not you see it, however, can vary. <\/p>\n
Captioning the post, NASA wrote: \u201cOK. I like it. Picasso!\u2063 On Sept. 7, 2023, during its 54th close flyby of Jupiter, the @NASASolarSystem #JunoMission captured this view of an area in the giant planet\u2019s far northern regions.\u2063" The image, captured from 4,800 miles above the surface of Jupiter by spacecraft Juno, has received hundreds of thousands of likes since it was posted on October 25 to celebrate the 142nd birthday of Picasso.<\/p>\n

The fluid image\u2019s swirls of noxious gas are mesmerizing, asymmetrical and random \u2013 but some humans back on planet Earth reckon they\u2019re able to see the face of a fellow person on its surface. Only half of the image is visible as part of the planet was facing away from the Sun, but those able to see it reckon two eyes, a nose and a mouth are all detectable.<\/p>\n

In its caption, NASA also discussed a condition called pareidolia, which is when you see humanoid faces in inanimate objects.<\/p>\n
The space agency wrote: "As often occurs in views from Juno, Jupiter\u2019s clouds in this picture lend themselves to pareidolia, the effect that causes observers to perceive faces or other patterns in largely random patterns."<\/p>\n

It was once considered to be a symptom for people going through psychosis but is commonly seen in everyday life. As such it is thought of as part of the normal human experience these days. The image\u2019s half-light half-dark nature means that in that picture you are looking at both the night and the day at the same time.<\/p>\n
