When you look at the moon you see 'the man on the moon' but what really is 'the man on the moon' ?
canyons, mountians or what?

The moon has zero protective atmosphere. That means when it gets hit by something like a comet, it gets clobbered full force. A lot of what we see on the moon are craters or shadows in the craters.

The big rounded dark areas are big rounded dark areas (called seas or maria, but not water). There are also craters and some mountains you can see. Look at a good labeled map of the moon and match to what you see in the sky.

The darker areas are places that were pummeled by large rocks, causing the surface to melt. It is relatively smooth, and darker than the highlands surrounding it.
