Grinning white light Sun - March 17, 2014

[Luke]

To me the large spot looks like a big smiling mouth, with two tiny little eyes above it. I checked with the missus, who seemed to say "I suppose so...", as I am apparently prone to seeing things that aren't there   I stacked about 230 frames out of 1650. It's so nice to see the Sun climbing high early now

Excellent Luke.

If I may now that you pointed it out this is what I see from the big spot. http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dhKhGyUnc2E/0.jpg

Thanks, guys

Jarrod, that is spot on!   I thought the chin looked a bit Homer-esque but the eyes did not fit.

An endorsement like 'I suppose so' is quite remarkable, I didn't know she was so gushing with lookalikes on the sun?

Anyway I can see it.  Perhaps it is a supporters face of a sheep football team that has just scored a goal again an alien side?
