Thanks to NASA
NASA circulated this photograph taken from the surface of Mars as an example of pareidolia that resembles Beaker, a character from The Muppet Show. This certainly demonstrates the pareidolia instinct of noticing familiar formations in unfamiliar surroundings.
Beaker, a character from The Muppet Show
The pareidolia instinct is nestled in the right lobe of the brain, and once activated can enhance your ability to notice familiar formations in your natural surroundings.
