Skyhound: You'd have to explain your imaging process and equipment for anyone to be able to answer what that is.

Looks like Roger Hargreaves' Mr Messy standing on the South Pole of Jupiter. But that's impossible -- Mr Messy isn't that big, nor is he real, nor could anyone stand on Jupiter. I'm going with "optical aberration". Maybe your camera needs a visit from Mr Neat & Mr Tidy?

The Jupiter First Party's first nuclear test was just a bit too large. There are fewer of them now.

Sorry, I forgot to include my friend Samuel in the credits of the last picture, and accidentally posted it as guest so I can't edit. Let me try again:
