What we can confirm
NASA and ISRO have officially released a genuine radar image from the NISAR satellite showing an Antarctic ice stream around the Nunatak Zaterjavshijsja mountaintop that happens to resemble a giant hummingbird; the image is real data, although the hummingbird appearance is an illusion caused by the landscape and radar imaging, not an actual bird.
