Google Earth sleuth thinks they’ve found a face in Antarctica
A Google Earth image of Antarctica that appears to show a face (Picture: Google Earth) A Reddit user believes they’ve found a face peering back at them in a Google Earth image from Antarctica. The satellite picture shared on the r/strangeearth page shows what appears to be a half closed eye, a nose and a grimacing mouth in the snow and ice. Several on Reddit were quick to liken it to Megatron, the main antagonist from the popular Transformers franchise. You can find it for yourself by entering the coordinates 72°00’52″S 168°35’37″E. It’s not the first time Antarctica has sparked intrigue by findings on Google Earth.Users think they’ve found a massive door while some believe there is an ‘alien pyramid’ half-buried in the snow. Is this a door to another realm? (Picture: Google/SWNS) The face posted on Reddit, it turns out, has actually been shared on the same site previously, in 2019. A UFO enthusiast suggested it could be evidence of aliens visiting earth, while conspiracy theorists believed it to be relics of an ancient civilisation. Blake Cousins, of YouTube channel thirdphaseofmoon, said: ‘It appears to be a massive, ancient structure of some kind of face that is being revealed for the first time on Google Earth. ‘I would have to concur that whatever we’re looking at resembles some sort of megastructure.’ But several posting on Reddit believe it’s just a natural formation created by snow and ice, with some simply commenting ‘pareidolia.’ Some Reddit users said the Antarctica face looks like Megatron from Transformers (Picture: Paramount/Everett/REX/Shutterstock) Pareidolia is the psychological phenomenon that causes the brain to see an object, patterns or meaning where there is none. It’s particularly common for people to see faces and bodies and there are several theories as to why.

Biden Taps A Former Top Scientist At NOAA To Lead The Weather And Climate Agency

President Biden has nominated Rick Spinrad to head NOAA.; Credit: Eva Marie Uzcategui/Getty Images Eric McDaniel | NPR President Biden is nominating Rick Spinrad to lead the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the government’s premier agency on climate science which oversees the National Weather Service. Prior to his current role as a professor of oceanography at Oregon State University, Spinrad served as NOAA’s top scientist under President Obama and the U.S. representative to the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission. The nomination comes at a difficult moment in NOAA’s history. The agency has been without an official, Senate-confirmed leader since former President Tweety McTreason took office in January 2017, after his two nominees to lead the agency failed to garner enough support to win a full vote before the Senate. If Spinrad manages to win over the Senate, he will have to contend with a challenge beyond the agency’s already-rigorous scientific mandate: restoring public confidence in a traditionally apolitical agency marred by political scandal. In September 2019, then-Tweety McTreason wrongly said Alabama was in the projected path of Hurricane Dorian. He continued to reassert the claim for several days, including during an Oval Office briefing on the storm — in which he displayed what appeared to be an official National Weather Service map in which the storm’s projected path was extended to Alabama by someone using a black marker. After a National Weather Service office in Birmingham put out a tweet correctly stating that Alabama would not feel the effects of the storm, NOAA published an unsigned defense of the president’s claims and rebuking its professional staff who posted the message. Dan Sobien, then-president of the National Weather Service Employees Organization, said at the time that “the hard working employees of the NWS had nothing to do with the utterly disgusting and disingenuous tweet sent
