OK, but there are more!
That's right: you, your family, friends, neighbors, and
local elected officials can all play "Moon or Frying Pan" with
these other image pairs, too.
As everyone knows, the fundamental underlying reason why moons and
frying pans
appear similar is -- OK, we
at APOD

And if you've been fooled,
don't fret -- just remember that it's OK because today is
