Here's my guess (based on scanning dozens of "full moon" and "gibbous
moon" images on Google Images):  The Weather Channel's moon looks like
it has been heavily Photoshopped.   Specifically, the man-in-the-moon
face is way off.

Looking through dozens of moon images, the "eyes" of the man in the moon
are at the visible edge of the moon, (and, in general, the
man-in-the-moon's "face" is in the NE quadrant of a full moon), not in
the center as in the WC image.

Anywhere close, Frank?
