See it on NASA's siteHave you ever seen the Man in the Moon? This question plays on pareidolia, imagining familiar icons where they do not exist. The textured surface of Earth's full Moon is home to numerous identifications. These include the Woman in the Moon and the Rabbit in the Moon. One common facial outline is often identified as the Man in the Moon.
