The Shroud of Turin

Until 2002, the second image was hidden on the back of the cloth known as the Shroud of Turin. This is evidence that the Shroud of Turin isn't a painting. The backside could be viewed after a protective cloth covering it since a 1532 fire was removed in 2002.
Professors Giulio Fanti and Roberto Maggiolo say that there is a second image on the back of the Shroud of Turin. If you looked at the cloth in person, you probably wouldn't see anything. However, with image-processing techniques, the details of a second man's face can be seen. Both faces are unique, as they have "some slight differences." Editor Daniel Porter says, "Imagine slicing a human hair lengthwise, from end to end, into 100 long thin slices; each slice one-tenth the width of a single red blood cell. The images on the Shroud of Turin, at their thickest, are this thin."
So you're probably thinking, "Wow! This is so intense! A second face on the Shroud of Turin? How did these images come about?" Well, I am, too. I learned that Fanti and Maggiolo concluded that the image was made from a corona discharge. This is a bright burst of energy and light, burning the body image on the upper sides of the Shroud.
