I have to agree with the other commentors, when it finally clicked for me it was Dr. Z!

I think it looks more like Dr. Zoidberg.

In response to jonny_eh:
The Homer I see, and I’m 99% positive it’s the one mentioned in the story, is facing down-left. Sorry, Dr. Novella!

Here’s one of my pareidolia favorites from right here on earth:

I think one was also mentioned on the SGU podcast.

An image of the virgin mary on a piece of toast was sold on ebay for 28,000 dollars. The holy piece of bread also brought the owner luck, as she says, because she had won (I think) 7,000 dollars. There was also a bald Brittney Spears on ebay, but it was taken off of auction. Images have appeared on rain soked windows, mountains and clouds.

Any one of those two?

The second one looks more like it to me, but I still think ist’s a little too far off.

I think I’ve spotted another Homer face (though it may be the original one as I can’t seem to spot that one). Focus on the bottom right corner of the screen and imagine Homer looking directly at you… then if you’re brain looks like mine you will see two large circular eyes, a small circular nose and the top half of trademark stubble. Also seems to work if you then flip the image upside down. Anyone see what Im talking about?

After looking a while and following your hints, I can find a shape that kinda-sorta reminds me of the Ubiquitous Homer Simpson.
But I can’t say it immediately leaped out at me.

Instead of Homer, I see Dr. Zoidberg, probably because I’ve been watching a great deal of Futurama recently. Also, the second image is clearly a mer-otter.
