Man
in The Ozone Hole 2008
If
you go out at night and look up at a full Moon, and you're like most people,
you'll probably see the face of a man, or, alternatively, a rabbit superimposed
on the bright disk of the Moon.
 
The
dark markings on the moon come from large basins on the surface that were
created when other space objects (meteors and asteroids) crashed into the moon
billions of years ago. The "eyes" of the face even have names; the
right eye is the Imbrue basin, and the left eye is the Serenitatis basin. The
rest of the features aren't quite as clearly "drawn", such as a nose
and mouth, but most people would agree that the moon appears to be watching us.
The
Moon may have a "Man in The Moon" but now apparently ,for one day ,
the Ozone Hole had a "Man in The Ozone Hole".
On
August 16 the formation of the ozone hole took
an uncanny resemblance to a face.
It
looks very similar to the painting "The Scream"
 
The
Scream is a s painting by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, depicting
an agonised figure against a blood red sky. It is said by some to
symbolise the human species overwhelmed by an attack of existential angst.
Maybe The Planet Earth "feels" the same way.
