What are the big dark spots that make up the eyes of the man on the moon?

The dark spots on the moon referred to as maria (singular: mare) are large, flat areas that were formed by ancient volcanic activity. They appear dark because they are composed of basaltic rock, which is rich in iron and magnesium minerals. These maria contrast with the lighter, mountainous regions on the moon's surface.


Why is the Moon's surface spots?

The dark spots on the Moon's surface are called lunar maria, which are large basaltic plains created by ancient volcanic activity. These regions appear darker because they are composed of denser rock material compared to the surrounding lunar highlands. The smoother surface of the maria is a result of lava flows that filled in large impact basins on the Moon billions of years ago.
