Can you see dark shapes on the moon?
Dark shapes on the moon are caused by variations in the terrain's reflectivity rather than actual colors or objects. These dark regions are called maria which are ancient plains formed by lava flows. While they may appear as shapes from Earth, they are not physical structures but rather geological features.
