Working all scientifical like, the Universe or someone:unsure: hit them square in the lens with, tah dah(French horns) a Space Smilie.
Of course being an official US Government agency, a cover-up is automatic. They said...

Quote:

"the two eyes are the galaxies SDSSCGB 8842.3 and SDSSCGB 8842.4, and the misleading smile lines are actually
arcs caused by an effect known as strong gravitational lensing, distorting light from more distant objects."

They said it was an Air Force surveillance balloon over Roswell too. :rolleyes:
