Description
Last month, a group of astronomers from the University of Arizona discovered what looked like the face of a bear on Mars. This isn’t the first time that people have found a face in the heavens, and it made the team at “Something Offbeat” wonder why we are always looking to the sky for meaning. So, we reached out to two experts: Dartmouth researcher Nathan H. Heller, who specializes in pareidolia – hearing or seeing a specific sound or image in a seemingly random visual or auditory stimulus – as well as well-known astrologer Jessica Lanyadoo, host of “Ghost of a Podcast”.
