      It’s a weird thing, but our brains are ‘wired’ to see faces where there aren’t any! It’s why as babies we can recognise the faces of our parents really easily. But it can be confusing, because sometimes we see faces where there aren’t any. We’ve been to the moon and we know there is no giant man there! If you want to check for yourself that it’s just an illusion, try looking at the moon through binoculars or a telescope.

      Haha, again, it’s just a tale made up when we didn’t quite know anything about the moon. There’s nobody living there that we know of! (p.s. is Jigglypuff your favourite pokemon?)

      As far as we know there is no one living on the Moon, but I agree the craters can look like a face if you look at them a certain way 😀

      No man in the Moon. I can never see that face actually – people have tried to point it out to me but I just don’t get it.
