Astronomy Picture of the Day -- Moon or Frying Pan?
NASA ^ | April 01, 2013 | (see photo credit)

Posted on 04/01/2013 4:01:55 AM PDT by SunkenCiv

Explanation: Which is which? Of the two images shown above, one is a moon in our Solar System, while the other is the bottom of frying pan. We are not making this up -- can you tell a pan from a planetoid? Think you got it? To find the answer click here. OK, but there are more! That's right: you, your family, friends, neighbors, and local elected officials can all play "Moon or Frying Pan" with these other image pairs, too. As everyone knows, the fundamental underlying reason why moons and frying pans appear similar is -- OK, we at APOD aren't sure either. And if you've been fooled, don't fret -- just remember that it's OK because today is April Fool's Day.

The first clue would be the craters.

The way my ex-wife cooked, there very well could have been craters in the frying pan - from me shooting it to put the poor thing out of its misery.
