Have you ever seen the Man in the Moon? This common question plays on the ability of humans to see pareidolia — imagining familiar icons where they don’t actually exist. The textured surface of Earth’s full Moon is home to numerous identifications of iconic objects, not only in modern western culture but in world folklore throughout history. Examples, typically dependent on the Moon’s perceived orientation, include the Woman in the Moon and the Rabbit in the Moon. One facial outline commonly identified as the Man in the Moon starts by imagining the two dark circular areas — lunar maria — here just above the Moon’s center, to be the eyes. Surprisingly, there actually is a man in this Moon image — a close look will reveal a real person — with a telescope — silhouetted against the Moon. This featured well-planned image was taken in mid-January in Cadalso de los Vidrios in Madrid, Spain. Do you have a favorite object that you see in the Moon?

有冇見過月亮上的人面呢？呢個常見問題反映咗人類對「形狀擬像」(pareidolia)嘅能力——即係喺唔存在嘅地方想像出熟悉的圖案。地球上滿月的表面上，有許多被人識別為標誌性物件，呢啲不單止存在於現代西方文化中，仲遍佈於世界各地的民俗中。例子包括「月裡的女人」(Woman in the Moon)同「月裡的兔子」(Rabbit in the Moon)。其中一個常見嘅人面輪廓，通常被視為「月亮上的人」(Man in the Moon)，可以從月亮中央上方的兩個深色圓形（即月海）開始想像成眼睛。
值得一提係，實際上，呢幅月亮的圖片中其實有一位真正的人物——只要用望遠鏡仔細觀察，就可以見到佢嘅身影。呢幅經過精心計劃嘅圖片係喺一月中旬，喺西班牙馬德里附近的卡達爾索·德·洛斯·維德里奧斯拍攝的。
