Experiment (the creation of a list of pareidolia in astronomy, biology, and geology)

Well... let's hope it (this list) shows (and has) enough credibility to exist as an individual page. DannyCaes (talk) 19:27, 31 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Telescopic asterisms too?

edit

Amateur astronomers know a lot of telescopic asterisms which show pareidolia, such as, for example, the asterism Picot 1 near the bright star Alpha Bootis (Arcturus). This asterism looks like the hat of Napoleon, and is called... Napoleon's Hat. The most well-known (binocular-friendly) asterism is the Coathanger (Collinder 399, aka Brocchi's Cluster) in Vulpecula (it looks like a veritable coathanger!). This asterism has an individual Wikipedia article. I wonder if there ever will be Wikipedia articles for the less known (named) telescopic asterisms (really, there are lots of them!).
