Status: Pareidolia
Spaceweather.com reports that the Loch Ness Monster has been spotted... on the sun. Check out this picture taken by astrophotographer Gary Palmer of Los Angeles. It does look kind of like a serpent, and by the standards of proof applied to blurry images of Loch Ness, that means it must be a
sun serpent! (Apparently the dark shapes are really
solar filaments, "relatively cool, dense gas suspended above the surface of the Sun.") (via

Basically, it's a random pattern that our brains interpret as a meaningful picture, such as animals or other objects in clouds!
My question is, where did you look it up at?
Anyway, it turns out that a simple misspelling had you all in knots, shouting in your capital letters.
