A friend shared this photo of the moon that he had taken on a particularly clear Oklahoma evening recently. After my initial "ohh, ahh" reaction to the crystal clear image and the beautiful indigo sky, I got to thinking - as I often do - of how much the moon looks like a cantaloupe. Seriously. Look at the shape, the texture, the lumps, bumps and even the uneven color of the surface. What is particularly striking about the moon in this image, is that there is a definite spot on the lower left side of the lunar surface that looks exactly like where the fruit would be attached to the vine if it were indeed a melon. I have heard people say that the moon is made of green cheese and I have heard of a blue moon but why has no one ever commented on how much like that wonderful fruit, the cantaloupe, the moon actually resembles? Hmm. Something to ponder on a cold November night...Garden of Eden, anyone?
