The ‘Face’ of Jupiter

JunoCam images aren’t just for art and science – sometimes
they are processed to bring a chuckle.
This image, processed by citizen scientist Jason Major, is titled “Jovey
McJupiterface.” By rotating the image 180 degrees and orienting it from south
up, two white oval storms turn into eyeballs, and the “face” of Jupiter is
revealed.
The original image was acquired by JunoCam on NASA’s Juno spacecraft on May 19, 2017 at 11:20 a.m. PT (2: 20 p.m. ET) from an altitude of 12,075 miles (19,433 kilometers).
