Science Big Bird in the Sun?

Posted by on Tue, Jun 5, 2012 at 10:03 AM

NASA:

This image of a coronal hole on the sun bears a remarkable resemblance to the 'Sesame Street' character Big Bird. Coronal holes are regions where the sun's corona is dark.

The first thing I saw, and kept seeing, was Italy. And when you look at Italy, you see a boot.

Big Bird, really?! I don't see it at ALL. Methinks someone at NASA is on drugs.

I totally see Big Bird. In profile, facing the left. But it's a poor rendering.

I don't see Italy because there's no heel.

If you look closely, you can see the Sun Mafia and the Sun Camora at the bottom.

You can also see the Sun Economy tanking while the President of the Sunspot focuses instead on harassing young girls. Made of fire.
