a failure of imagination?

a few days ago, a friend mailed me a link to some cool moon facts

diverting and educational all in one, especially at that time of day (round about the 3pm mark -- when the not-enough-work-ennui effect is strongest for me).

i've always liked astronomy, though i doubt i could ever sink my mind into the mathematics that underlie much of the science in it. i rather go for the imagery that the bevy of astronomical instruments (and the astronomers that use them) serve up for the edification of the general masses.

as a matter of fact, here's a site that i visit every day for my astronomical image fix (updates after lunch, though)

so where does the title of the post come into this?

it has to do with the "man in the moon" -- a particular pattern that the brain imprints on the arrangement of dark "seas" on the moon.

i don't see it.
