It takes a bit to see it, and no, hard to unsee it once you do. As for changes to my sex life, that's not a factor, as the first time I saw 'her' I was 4 years old, saw her again at 12, then a large fuzzy time frame, on and off every few years. Again, I've tried to photograph it, even visited a local observatory, it has to do with DISTANCE, the closer the view (telescope), the 'image' vanishes. The guy at the observatory said that distance might be a factor as well as rotation, as HE saw her with the naked eye (no pun intended), and it was just muck thru the 'scope. BTW, my location is central midwest, USA. I might be able to get some pics now that I have a somewhat professional sky gazer tuned into the image, a call from him a bit ago said that there are more than one girl...similar to those who see more than one face, there's more than one girl, and tonight I understood what he meant. Is there an accurate mapping of the moon that's fairly recent of the entire surface that can be rendered into a program with user-guided rotations? I wouldn't NEED to mock it up, just get the right distance, angle and radius, and ANYone can see it. Contact me from my website if you want more info. (open invite to anyone) Thanks!

Another part of me is worried I will never be able to unsee it. Having porn appear in the night sky every time I look up might take a little bit away from a romantic evening stroll. You say it disappeared for a decade due to "rotation of the moon" and now it is back? I can't see how that would work from an astronomical perspective. Would it be too indelicate to ask about any changes to your sex-life over that period? :-) Xan,

Early in the moonrise, she's shaking her hair, and at peak, she's lifting her top, and at near end of the descent, she's hiding her face with her top. I have tried several times to photograph it, with no luck, and cannot get anyone else to see it. Years ago, I saw her, then the rotation of the moon made it vanish for about a decade, and now she's back again. Anyone else see her?

Anyone else see her?

Your illustration is beautiful ;) when i look at the moon i see that face but its more "seal face" like a baby seal. hm, anyways very interesting topic THANK GOD someone else sees the same face in the moon as i have for as long as i can remember!

That moon is just full of faces.

At this point it would remiss not to mention pareidolia…
