Figures

Earth isn't the only planet in the solar system, there are seven other planets, that also have moons. Mars has two moons, Jupiter has sixty-three, Saturn sixty-two, Uranus has twenty-seven and Neptune has thirteen. If you would like to see more information about the moons and planets you can visit this website: http://www.windows2universe.org/our_solar_system/moons_table.html

In my observations I have noticed that the moon has different patterns on  it and remembered that people have said that there is a face on the moon, my  parents have told me about a rabbit on the moon but I have never been able to make out these images when I used to look at the moon. So when I was younger I would use my imagination to picture a rabbit in a shape of a fetus. I choose to pay more attention to the rabbit than the man because I love animals and I thought it was more interesting to see a rabbit than a human (since I would see people everyday what was the point of picturing one on the moon at night?). To me the rabbit was cradled up and sleeping.
This website shows the different figures that people see on different parts of the hemispheres

The different figures seen by different people made me think why do they all see different things on the same object? Pareidolia-- "the phenomenon of seeing faces where there are non is a form of information-filling. It's something all humans do." After reading this page I came up with my own assumption, when we were younger we had a more detailed paredolia and more imagination including with what we saw because we lacked the knowledge of why things were the way they were. Also that we now could see things shaped as something else because it might have something to do with the way animals can camouflage and how their outline is a bit more visible it could have been a skill we got after needing it for fishing or hunting? After learning all this and creating assumptions I wonder what kind of image can be seen on the different planets and their moons.
