What does the Moon really look like?
I was observing the moon in 3 different ways: 1. without my glasses, 2. wearing my contacts and 3. with my glasses on. Every experience was different, the moon looked different every time. Which of these 3 images is the true representation of the moon? What does the moon really look like?
