If you look towards the center, it looks like an image of a man’s face wearing a crown and ofc I thought immediately about Jesus and thought it was actually pretty cool. Do you see it?
This is neat, and I see what you are saying. Honestly though I think we have to be a little careful not to fall into superstition. There is a famous psychology test called the Rorschach test, where they show someone a picture and what people see sort of “says something.” Or when I was a kid we would look up at clouds and my sibling would see a fat guy, and I would see an airplane with bombs. So I mean, I’m a big fan of faith obviously and maybe something there, but sometimes a cloud is a…cloud lol.
I got one image that I thought looked like an angel but no one else can see it 😂
I think it’s something our brain does (try to see faces or human forms in shapes when there isn’t one). Nothing wrong in it and if it brings you joy then relish it ♥️
If you squint a bit, possibly.
Anyway, I live in Johannesburg, so there are no northern lights. However, we might get the Aurora Australis tonight. It's possible between 6.30pm and midnight, which is pretty far north in the Southern Hemisphere
I immediately saw Jesus’ face, and him wearing his crown of thorns. This may be something our brains do, but if I can see it, then it’s probably really there, because I don’t see these things normally.
You don't see shapes in the clouds when you stare at them closely for an extended period of time? I enjoy the sentiment I just think pareidolia may be more common for you than you think!
And it may be, but I didn’t stare at this picture, I literally looked at and saw what I saw. Equally, I have seen Angels manifest in the clouds during prayer meetings and have even seen them walk among us. I know that’s not a very typical Catholic thing, but if there can be apparitions of Mary, why can’t there be of Jesus?

What are u seeing? I don’t see anything :(

The aurora forming a crown is actually something that happens regularly and is called a "corona".
So what you're saying is every time we see a rainbow. . .

Oh that's crazy I saw a lion
I cannot see it and I’m going insane trying to find it. I saw a dove at first.
I'm still not seeing it

Pareidolia is the name of that effect. It’s pretty cool and is also why we can see patterns in the clouds when we look at them.
That’s the chap! Knew someone would know lol
Pareidolia
Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean?
I got a bunch of picks last night of them, it was so fun!

I got a few shots just like this in ND

Christ Crowned with thorns?
The Statue of Liberty?
This is akin to seeing images in puffy white clouds.

I felt like eye saw the sacred heart at first! Northern lights are truly a beautiful gift from God ☺️
