Because the moon doesn't look anything like that through MY telescope. Or with the naked eye, for that matter.
No, they built a light-filtering bubble around the planet. That's why you hear about the "launch window" when they're going to send anything outside the atmosphere. It's a literal window in the optical bubble that they have to fly through.



Hmmm, now that I've posted that there are bound to be some nut bags starting up new websites about the REAL moon.
