Looks like an ad for Wal-Mart's "Falling Prices." They say they're out of this world.

With all of the darker brown in the northeast quadrant I thought it looked more like a Pac-man.

This is not natural colour as seen by our eyes, but infrared colour, which is shifted to longer wavelengths. The image has also been processed to enhance subtle colour variations. Other features such as the "eyes" and the "smile" were also added to enhance the illusion ah... the image.

I hate to bring this up, but it more closely resembles Uranus crater.

I told you they'd find it.
We should be more careful how we lay out our miniature golf courses in the future.
