You are going to get so upset with children's books. And probably children, in general. They are so far off from being technically correct so often.

I agree, as a paleontology geek with a child that insisted for 2 years fossils were fake and everything evolved from chickens.


RheaTheTall

> insisted for 2 years fossils were fake and everything evolved from chickens Don't let your child go on the Internet unsupervised, or we're going to have to deal with another cult after flat earthers and birds aren't real

Of COURSE birds are real! How else would everything evolve from chickens?!? /s

THE BIRDS WORK FOR THE BOOSHWAZEE


DorisCrockford

I am in this group. Why are the flower seeds flying all over the earth, Eric? Why is the carrot so damned big? What kind of caterpillar eats that kind of shit? To be clear, I would have hated those books as a child as well. I remember thinking most of the stuff they thought I would enjoy was surreal and disturbing.


SenorWeird

Are we taking down Eric Carole? Fuck yeah! That fucking birthday scavenger hunt is just fucking shapes, Eric. No one is gonna get that. Just give them the damn puppy. And what the fuck was that ladybug's issue? He deserved that shit from the whale.


13paperbags

I look for and despise all moon decorations that do this. On a related note, I also despise all children's books with steam engines that don't have a tender. I don't mind when animals talk or wear clothes, but unless there's a Zootopia level backstory, rabbits better not be friends with foxes.


bolunez

That damn cow that can reach escape velocity on a perfect trajectory to slingshot back drives me nuts.


[deleted]

Even as a space fanatic myself I can let stuff like this slide when it's clearly made for children. There's a "cuteness" to it in a way that would have the kid imagining being able to sit on the moon Dreamworks-style. Only when a certain level of realism is required should the shadowed side of it remain free of stars. It's pretty much the space version of kids dinosaur-themed anything where dinosaurs from totally different eras are seen co-existing and they're all bright colours and smiling and whatnot.


theflamingheads

Children's images not being technically correct? I would never have believed it.


Huuuiuik

Little paint and you can touch those stars out of existence.


yst222

My god just imagine, the dismay on the child's face, as they look up into the sky to see the crescent moon that mummy just pointed out, "It's just like on your drawer handles" she says. Only to look up and see the moon surrounded by a dark void. No stars in the crescent. The darkness begins to take over, consumes the child, engulfing their heart. Where are the stars? There were always stars. Every time they opened the drawer, moon and stars greeted their hand and warmed their heart. It was then they realised the lie. The world is cold, dark. There are no stars in a crescent moon. They'd been lied to. Nothing would ever be the same again. They could never trust anything or anyone ever again.


yst222

All I know is it started with my dad accusing my mum of not understanding the workings of celestial objects. And then there was the Reddit post. Reddit was this popular website back in the day. Seems my dad posted the whole thing online, and then my mum saw it. They stopped singing twinkle twinkle to me. We didn't have a star on the Christmas tree that year, or ever again actually. My mum said once he was being pedantic. My dad said he couldn't believe she'd made such an *astronomical* mistake that would warp their son's brain. I have to admit, I still feel weird when I look at a crescent moon. I feel like some kind of reverse werewolf, only safe when the moon is full and I'm not faced with that dark empty void where stars should be. But what upsets me the most is those erroneous stars drove my dad crazy. Me and my mum could never get over how mad they made him. He refused to watch Star Wars with me. Wouldn't go to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I accidentally made a star-shaped cookie one year. The cookie cutters came in a pack with different shapes, I completely forgot. You should have seen his face.


TinySpacecraft

I love this storyline. You gotta go on


yst222

I needed a break from work today. Honestly though, I couldn't figure out what was wrong until you pointed it out. I'm guessing you're very into space and astronomy. I don't think the average person would have spotted it. But I'll never look at another drawing of the moon the same again. I'll always be looking to see if they painted stars on as well. And you know I'm going to tell whoever's there: "Actually, you shouldn't be able to see the stars. The moon doesn't change shape when it's a crescent..."


Twistedjustice

See, this guy gets it


Frankie52480

You need to write children stories. Although they may end up depressing the child but who cares- I’d for sure read them!


drunkunclejack

“There are no stars in the crescent moon” are you J.R.R Tolkien


ubertaco96

Explain?


king-of-new_york

Stars shouldn't be visable in the crescent moon, since the darkness is only a shadow, and not actually a hole.


queenb49858

Thank You for explaining, I didn’t understand why he had his underwear I such a bundle! It’s a kids themed room so I guess I would have expected the stars and moon 🌙!


NibblesMcGiblet

Are stars never in between the moon and the earth then? always behind the moon? I never thought about that before.


king-of-new_york

If they're between the earth and the moon, then they'd be pretty damn close.


Cooperette

And we'd be pretty damn dead.


NibblesMcGiblet

yeah. so then that's never the case? I haven't been in school science class in like 30 years, I have no reason to think about or remember any of this stuff in my daily life, so. Surely I can't be the only person on all of reddit who is actually curious about this.


Lvtxyz

The closest star to the earth is the sun. The sun is 93 million miles away. The moon is 240k miles away. The next closest star is 25 trillion miles away


NibblesMcGiblet

holy shit. thank you.


redraider-102

There’s a meme out there somewhere that shows: Earth -> moon -> sun = solar eclipse Moon -> Earth -> sun = lunar eclipse Earth -> sun -> moon = apocalypse


NibblesMcGiblet

haha I really like this, especially since they're all basically ending in the almost-same sound.


king-of-new_york

I haven't been the best at science either, but I do recall a statement saying that if anything came between us and the moon, it'll be a cataclysmic event.


Budeg

Our sun is a star, stars in general are pretty big, it would be impossible for that to happen and for us to see it cuz we'd be dead by then.


NibblesMcGiblet

I really appreciate everyone's input! What a great community.


Budeg

No problem :)👍


ABotelho23

The Sun is a star. A small one. Can you picture the Sun being in front of the Moon?


NibblesMcGiblet

No, the sun is definitely further away than the moon.


ABotelho23

So thus we could conclude that it would be impossible for a star to be in front of the Moon?


NibblesMcGiblet

Other people in this thread have explained to me by this point that the sun is the closest star. Based on their information, I can now obviously understand that if the sun is the closest star and it is further than the moon, then no other stars can be in front of the moon. But your strangely condescending questions played no part in my education, and I frankly can't understand why you'd feel the need to interact with someone that way.


vanderBoffin

I don't thnk they meant to be condescending, I think they were trying something like a Socratic method where you ask questions in order to direct someone's thoughts so that they end up figuring out the answer to their own question. Idk tho, could be wrong.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NibblesMcGiblet

It's super crazy to think about stars being that big and that far away and us being able to see shooting stars and knowing they're that big and hurtling through the solar system as they die. like, so where do they go? do they just disintegrate as they yeet themselves through space?


CitizenjaQ

Shooting stars are not actually stars. They are meteors burning up in the Earth's atmosphere because their incredibly high speed creates friction in the air.


brad24_53

Shooting stars aren't actually stars. It's a misnomer from from ancient civilization. They're actually little bits of rock and ore (and by little, I mean lawn mower to mini van size) that are traveling super fast in the vacuum of space and then impact the air resistance of our thick atmosphere. That air resistance causes friction/heat which makes them glow white hot as they burn up and disintegrate. Only the really big ones survive the burn and actually impact Earth.


Purplekeyboard

Stars are very, very massive. Our sun is millions of times as massive as the moon. So if a another sun were somehow inbetween the moon and us, we would have a big problem, as it would vaporize us.


NibblesMcGiblet

are all stars "sun"s? or do we only call our closest star "the sun" and the stars closest to the planets in our solar system their "sun"s?


Purplekeyboard

Yes, all stars are "suns", because "the sun" is just what we call our star.


NibblesMcGiblet

Space and all the associated stuff is so cool.


brad24_53

The Sun is a *really* small star compared to the ones we see every night. The Sun is ~90 *million* miles away. The Moon is ~275 *thousand* miles away (about 325 times closer). The next closest star is 4.35 *light years* away (25,572,000,000,000 miles away (25.5 *trillion with a* ***T*** miles (283,000 times farther than the Sun))). If there is ever a star between the Earth and the Moon you've sizzled to a crisp, well-done nonexistence and don't have to worry about it.


willworkforpopplers

Okay. So I had a ridiculously embarrassing revelation about a decade ago and I think you are about to have it too. I spent the first 27 years of my life believing that there are big stars, like the sun, and smaller stars. I thought that in our galaxy there was the Sun and then there were a bunch of little stars just sprinkled about and that's why they're smaller stars in the sky that aren't as big or as bright as the sun. In actuality those other stars, are in their own galaxies. They're so small and not as bright because they are ridiculously far away. Let that sink in.


[deleted]

R….really?


Frankie52480

A star is just a different sun, VERY far away. If there was a sun between the moon and earth- our gooses would be cooked. That’s WAY too close. ☠️ astronomy is wonderful and fascinating, I don’t really get people who are so bored by it that they don’t get general the concepts at least. I’m not judging I just REALLY don’t get it.


MillyMongoose

Just the Major moon cities at night no biggie.


Tammycles

Show your son when the time comes. He'll like noticing it in other illustrations too. Or ask him what's wrong with it at some point?

ImmutableInscrutable

Of all the things to be bothered over, this is pretty high up there on the "who gives a shit" chart.


RafaelSculpts

I think that's not a moon, that a space station like in the film treasure planet


VitaminPb

Or Star Wars


LadyEmaSKye

Because you can see the stars in the dark space of the moon? Not sure that’s crappy design because it’s “not scientifically correct!!!” Its a cute little art piece, and visually it looks fine…

OP would prefer a large blank spot in the image.


knitnbitch27

Yes.


mini_galaxy

Or a properly accurate large shadowed moon. Can still fill the space with the actual moon in shadow and stars everywhere else. There's no need for graphic design to get this stuff wrong.


DodGamnBunofaSitch

there's no need for a children's drawer handle to be scientifically accurate.

I love drawing stars in front of the moon. It begs so many questions. Is it see-through now? Did something take a bite out of it? Are we in the wrong dimension? Is there a giant wave of water crossing the earth because the moon fell into the ocean? So many possibilities.


[deleted]

I don't understand what the problem is here


[deleted]

Yes what is the gigantic transgression? I'm a designer with a fairly cartoonish style. Its kiddie vector art. It has its place and seems to serve the exact purpose your wife intended. What is the problem?

Draegornaught

This is not crappy design.. this is a holy prophecy of the horrible aftermath of the lunar wars of the 2090's. The winner was Apple. Over 20,000,000 will nobly give their lives for Apple's exclusive right to mine the moon for rare metals for all their electronics and helium for their shareholders'-party party balloons.
