man in the moon properNoun

  /ˌmæn ən ðə ˈmun/ , /ˌmæn ɪn ðə ˈmuːn/
  • An image of a man perceived in the dark maria (plains or "seas") and light highlands or other features of the Moon, originally regarded as a man with a burden on his back or accompanied by a small dog, and now more commonly as a man's face in the full moon or his profile in a crescent moon; hence, an imaginary man thought to be living on the Moon.
