    Nah, our moon is exceptionally dull. Here we are, the only dot in the sunbeam that’s not black or white, and our sole natural satellite is flat, dark, and powder-gray. Like worn asphalt.

    And it’s tide-locked! We don’t even get to see all of it. Like if Mars’s twin enormous boulders always looked like cardboard cut-outs instead of tumbling majestically over the years. Thank goodness for all this water and life and crap, or we’d be a C-tier heavenly body.

      The fact that our moon is almost identical in size compared to our sun from our perspective is something exceptional in heavenly bodies! Give it some merit!
