Details:
I see the moon's face change expression as it travels across the sky each month. On the 8th of November 2025 it appeared to me that the moon was looking down on our earth with a shocked and sad countenance. It had a look of great concern for what is happening on earth. Perhaps there just is too much sorrow and injustice over the millenias for our dear moon. Certainly this phase several days after full moon always gives that impression when I gaze upwards at it. The "Seas" on the surface of the moon create the features we see as the "Moon's Face". Mare Imbrium = left eye; Mare Serenitatis and Mare Tranquillitatis = right eye; Sinus Asperitatis and Mare Nectaris = tear drops; Mare Vaporum and Sinus Aestuum & Medii = nose; Mare Cognitum and Mare Nubium = mouth. I printed a Black and White in order to take a pencil to accent the features that I see as a face. The telescope view doesn't let one's eye discern a face because of all the details. But it gave a great feeling for the impact craters Tycho and its magnificent ejecta rays and Copernicus splashing down in the Ocean of Storms.
