| Description | Fun object from the August 2024 CN EAA Challenge. For me, it looks like a Panda Bear taking a bite from a cranky, crescent man-in-the-moon. There's a pattern in the "eye" of the man in the moon that is eerily similar to another pattern that shows up between the two object. See if you can spot it. Lensing? |
