1907 Spooning in the Moon Postcard set
.

The image is a vintage illustrated postcard titled “Spooning in the Moon,” divided into two side-by-side scenes set against a dark night sky filled with small yellow stars and dark, swirling clouds. In both scenes, a large crescent moon with a human face appears in profile, floating in the sky. In the left scene, a man and a woman stand together inside the curve of the crescent moon. The woman wears a long, striped dress with a full skirt and a dark hat, and she is holding one arm up as if being guided or helped. The man wears a light-colored jacket, trousers, and a brimmed hat, and he stands close beside her, facing inward toward the moon. In the right scene, the crescent moon again fills the center, smiling slightly. The woman stands on the inner curve of the moon, leaning forward and holding the man by the hand or arm. The man is shown slipping or hanging downward from the moon, with his body angled below it and his legs extended, as if he is losing his balance. Along the far right edge of the postcard, the printed title “Spooning in the Moon” appears vertically, with handwritten cursive writing beneath it.

In both scenes, a large crescent moon with a human face floats in the sky, its profile visible and expressive. A man and a woman sit together on the lower curve of the crescent moon. The woman wears a long, light-colored dress with a fitted bodice and wide skirt, along with a hat. The man wears a suit with a jacket, trousers, and a hat resting near him. In the first scene, the couple sits facing each other, holding hands and looking at one another. In the second scene, they sit closer together, leaning in and kissing. The moon’s face appears to look toward the couple, adding a whimsical, romantic tone to the scene.

A man stands or leans near the top of the crescent, holding onto its edge. Below him, a woman reclines along the lower curve of the moon, lying on her side with her head propped on one arm. She wears a long, light-colored dress. Along the far right edge of the postcard, the printed title “Spooning in the Moon” appears vertically, with handwritten cursive writing beside it.

"A mere decade ago, astronomers knew of just 62 around . Today the ringed boasts a staggering 274 official satellites. That’s more than any other world in the solar system—and far too many for most people to keep track of. Astronomer Edward Ashton is no exception, even though he has helped to discover 192 of them—he thinks that’s the total, anyway, after pausing to do some mental math."
