UNILAD - UNILAD

The famous so-called face on #Mars isn't actually a face. It's a mountain with features and shadows that make it look like a face from certain perspectives. Our interpretation of it as a face is an example of #pareidolia—a form of #apophenia—which is a phenomenon in which we perceive faces in otherwise abstract features. It's a quirk of the human mind based on our tendency to seek out patterns in chaos.

In a neat example of the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon a leonine young woman at the Flying M Coffee House inspired the fanciful thought "Her name is a lion". Couldn't manage a #Lojban translation. Later, looking at Lojban t-shirts... mi fetsi cinfo... Furthermore, I have ~7% Hungarian ancestry, and lo! a MAGYAR license plate appears in front of me. #apophenia #synchronicity

@abbyjss Yes. I think everything is like that. #Synesthesia. #Aphantasia. #Apophenia. And the "blue field entoptic phenomenon." I think human traits lie on normal curves, so you get people who can't get what you're talking about and others that thought everybody was like that and everything in between.

Great to explore somewhere different this week. The river levels were just right to catch this shot but can you see something spooky at the bottom of the hole? #apophenia

MSN - Mars Rover Appears to Catch "Dark Beast" Roaming the Surface of Mars

Dark beasts on Mars?

Whether this counts as #pareidolia or #apophenia, there's a long history of finding images on Mars and thinking they prove "something's up there." I still find this fascinating.
