In fact, I got my calculations wrong.
Andromeda is not 150 million trillion miles away. It's only a mere 15 trillion (15 000,000,000,000,000,000) miles away (or, as those daft Yanks and Canucks call the number, "15 quintillion").
What to the British is a trillion (1 with 18 noughts after is) is known as a quintillion to the North Americans. A British billion is a North American trillion.
If that's pareidolia then it's probably the most remarkable example of it in the entire history of the universe.

Just can't disagree without being insulting too, can you. Given the standard way of grouping digits in threes when writing large numbers, it seems perfectly reasonable to change the name every three orders of magnitude. That's how the standard nomenclature for the metric system works too, but I'm sure you think the metric system is daft as well.
I think seeing Jesus' face in the scorch marks on a toasted cheese sandwich tops it.
Well now, having had a look around the site that story came from originally, I've changed my mind. The man whose name and URL appear on that image runs a paranoid conspiracy theory web site billing him as a freelance journalist. The first banner I saw on his home page was a claim that the Amish don't get vaccinated and don't get autism, repeating the long-discredited meme of the anti-vaccination crowd, and the BS meter red lined. Scanning a few of his essays shows him to be viciously anti-Semitic, a misogynist, a bigot, and a believer in all kinds of paranoid nonsense. So, it's neither pareidolia nor a lack of photo interpretation and manipulation skills. It's paranoid stupidity.
