alexpgpCheck out this photo of comet Borelly, taken by the Deep Space 1 probe on Saturday:
Does anyone else see the face? [Hint: Look at the edge of the "terminator."] If truth be told, I can make out a large head, with a pointy nose and wide open mouth, on top of a small body with a short, stubby right arm extended, and forefinger pointing, as if making a point.
Such solid scientific evidence cannot simply be put down to "coincidence," if you ask me.
Just kidding.
Seriously, this is an awesome photo, especially considering that the camera that took it was jury-rigged to operate as a star tracker for navigation when the probe's own tracker went belly up, and was then coordinated to perform its original job at just the right instant.
Cheers...
