That's what we're supposed to see later.
Here are some other shots of it later, when it was darker.
This is really amazing! I was flying from Mombasa Kenya to Nairobi Kenya today, and I saw the exact same thing. Even took pictures of it when I landed on my smartphone. The only difference is that the 'eyes' are much closer to the 'smile' than is the case in the Aussie pictures. It looked EXACTLY like a smiley-face.
Quite literally made me smile all the way home. Even though I was in a mega-jam, I was smiling like a kid in a candy shop! Heaven smiling down on me.
