Looks innocuous enough at first glance right? Let’s zoom in on the problem:
These don’t go together. If the semicircle on the left is correct, then this is showing moon phases, and the symbol on the right should be of a gibbous moon:
If the cookie-with-a-bite-taken-out in the right is correct, then this is showing an eclipse, and the symbol on the left should be of a 50% partial eclipse:

If the wife likes it, mission accomplished!
Just take a chill pill man.
How right, I should limit my neurotic nitpicking to appropriate spaces.
Turn them round.
That’s not the issue. The artist has decided that the cutout is the shadow, and just made ot “move across” the moon. This is now how light hitting the moon looks from Earth.
@agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works may I suggest pretending you are looking at it from the perspective of an asteroid 30 degrees “above Earth” and circling us. That would make it accurateish.
Everything is perspective.
