The way the moon looks changes all throughout the year. If you’re a fan of celestial events, you probably already know that quite a few this year have been particularly rare. This includes September’s full supermoon, featuring a partial lunar eclipse. But recent sightings of the moon have left everyone puzzled. This strange view of the moon can be seen in a popular video shared online, and it shows what appears to be a face by the moon.

Yes, you read that correctly: a face by the moon! In this video, a faint blurriness can be seen just next to the moon. But the more the person recording zooms in, the clearer this area becomes. According to the person who posted the video, a face can be seen. See it for yourself in the video below.

Strange Face Seen by the Moon Has People From All Over the World Speculating
While this image is faint, thousands in the comments agree that it does look like a face. What people can’t agree on, however, is the exact origin of the face. Some believe that the video has been edited. Others think it’s simply a reflection in the mirror. Then there are those who are sure that it’s something called pareidolia.
Odds are, you have experienced pareidolia at some point in your life. This term refers to situations where a person sees a pattern or the image of a face where there isn’t one. For example, noticing shapes or faces in clouds or oddly-shaped food. In any case, this video certainly has people talking.
“Has anyone thought that maybe there’s faces all over the sky and you only see the ones closest to the moon as it illuminates them??” someone jokes, with another adding, “Wait, what if we actually live on a tiny follicle in this man’s room, this is his lamp lol. It’s giving Horton Hears a Who!”
