The Lady in the Moon is so much more obvious!

Come on here! The text does not state clearly that this image of the moon has been digitally manipulated to accentuate the point being made! It comes across as dishonest! Please!
Ooop! Sorry, I failed to see that this is a "roll-on-roll off" (RORO) image showing different images depending on whether the cursor is on the image or not. Will all viewers have access to the RORO feature?

What manipulation? It looks like a very natural lunar image to me.

I'm not sure if that works on touchscreen devices. Hover operations generally don't unless very deliberate and careful workarounds are provided.

On my iPad anyway, if I long press the image, the hover-over image shows up. Ditto for my Android phone.

I don't on my Android phone. Just a context menu. Which is what I'd expect unless some very specific coding on the website isn't done.

Odd. It only works if you long press on the image on the page with the text. Not if you click the image first, which makes sense. I see the same behavior with both Chrome and Vivaldi: first the hover-over image appears, then the context menu. If I then click off it, I see just the hover-over image. I'm running Android 14.

Actually, looking more closely, when I long press, a fraction of second before the context menu comes up I get the hover image, and then if I close the context menu the hover image is what's seen on the page. I have to refresh the page to get back the primary image. Also Android 14.

I remember when, at 10, found out that my classmates did not see the face in the moon that I had thought was evident to everybody and I could not refer to the eye at right to explain a landing site.
Now I think that my eyesight was somewhat poor and it mattered.
The face I recognize now as my old recognition is this:

Due to my obsession with astronomy picture of the day, this picture, 'Find the man in the moon", was also posted in 2016 on Feb 1st

The Man in the Moon got a bit of a haircut last night!

And why was that? [ EDIT: never mind - I see there was a partial lunar eclipse last night. I don't keep up with daily astronomy sky watching news, I'm afraid. ]
