I forgot to mention that sometimes when I use the cross eye method to view the pairs one pair makes the Moon look like a sphere sticking out towards me while the other pair has the Moon looking like a concave dish.
Patrick, I may have already mentioned this elsewhere, but one of my favorite cartoonists is Gahan Wilson, who drew macabe cartoons for 50+ years for Playboy (I suspect you would not know him, although he also did work for the New Yorker--who described him as Norman Rockwell's evil twin, so you might.). Anyway, one of my favorites came from the era when Apollo first went around the moon and the backside was viewed for the first time. He drew a cartoon showing a large metal concave dish wth massive beams supporting the structure, In large black letters were painted the words act 2, scene 3 (or the like as I cannot remember the exact wording). Dan gave me a 3 book collection of his Playboy cartoons, which I greatly treasure. 73 PS: For those interested, you can see samples of his work at _www.condenaststore.com,_ just enter his name in the search area.
