Awe-Inspiring....Great Job, NASA!

I need to echo the comments of Chris at Highly Allochthonous about the extraordinary picture of the descent of the Phoenix onto the surface of Mars. I have written before about the incredible gift that technology has given all of us, especially in our ability to see beyond the confines of our own small planet. This is a simply astounding picture...

Amazing! What made me comment, though, is the second time I saw this shot I saw something completely different. I had seen the crater in perspective at first, but the next time I saw a closed eye. I know I'm nuts, but am I alone in this? Sorry about adding woo-woo to the world, but temptation is a terrible thing to have to resist!
