Okay, I got a little carried away with the aliteration in the title, but have you ever looked at a drawing or other depiction of the moon and laughed? That most likely happened when you see a crescent moon with stars visible inside. That's impossible, but it is only the beginning of the many ways you can screw up a picture of the moon.
Once you get away from the more common mistakes, we get into moon mistakes that you were not even aware of until now. How the crescent moon is angled depends on where on earth you live. That explains why the angle of the moon is different on the many national flags on which it appears. If you are out in the African savanna, the moon does not look at all the way it was depicted in The Lion King. Still, if it had been correct, that's what people would have been talking about after seeing it instead of what a great movie it was. -via Geeks Are Sexy
