Twitter users immediately pointed out that the picture looked like a dosa.

An old picture released by NASA’s Jupiter spacecraft is again going viral on the internet. Jupiter is visible from below in a photo posted by account Latest In Space on Twitter. Captioning it, “Looking up from the very bottom of Jupiter. Spotted by NASA Cassini” has received nearly 20,000 likes and over 2,000 retweets.

Twitter users immediately pointed out that the picture looked like a dosa. User jacobji01 wrote “looks like a designer dosa” with another user @kalaise24 writing “this is how my mom makes dosa”.

IFS officer Parveen Kaswan too “isn’t it a plain dosa?” Got confused while writing. Many users even gave funny answers by sharing pictures of making dosa.

The Cassini spacecraft that took this photo was primarily responsible for detailing the planet Saturn. One of the greatest discoveries made by Cassini was that it revealed the moons of Saturn to be unique worlds with their own distinctive features.

NASA details that Cassini was one of the most ambitious efforts ever made in planetary exploration. A joint effort of NASA, ESA (European Space Agency) and the Italian Space Agency (ASI), Cassini was a sophisticated robotic spacecraft sent to study Saturn and its complex system of rings and moons in unprecedented detail.

According to NASA, lessons learned during Cassini’s mission are being applied in planning NASA’s Europa Clipper mission, which is planned to launch in 2020. Using an orbital tour design derived from the way Cassini explored Saturn, Europa Clipper will make dozens of flybys of Jupiter’s oceanic moons to investigate its potential habitability.
