** It is very clearly [[DetonationMoon shattered]] on one side, with the shards seemingly held in place away from the rest of the moon. It\\\'s [[RuleOfCool a really cool and unique look]], but in real life those pieces would either have been pulled back into the moon by its gravity, created a \\\"ring\\\" around the moon (perhaps even accumulating eventually into a satellite of their own; this is incidentally how Earth\\\'s moon was created), or completely ejected from its orbit, depending on how strong the force was that shattered it in the first place.
** Unlike most moons in real life, it is not [[TidallyLockedPlanet Tidally Locked]], meaning that it doesn\\\'t have a \\\"dark side\\\", but rather rotates which side is facing the planet at any time (the shattering effect helps demonstrate this, with the broken side visibly rotating into and out of view). While there are some moons that behave like this in our own solar system (like some of Jupiter\\\'s outer moons), they are extremely distant to their planet, and wouldn\\\'t appear nearly as large in the night sky from the planet\\\'s surface as Remnant\\\'s moon does.
** The moon has never shown any traditional phasing. Rather than waxing and waning with relation to the sun like any other object in space, it always appears \\\"full\\\"; rather than ever being half-lit, crescent or gibbous, the moon is always fully lit every time it is shown on screen. The only thing that appears to change is which side is facing Remnant. Curiously, the only time that characters have called the moon \\\"full\\\" corresponded to the time when the \\\'\\\'broken\\\'\\\' side was fully facing the planet.
The example was removed because it was making assumptions about things that just haven\\\'t been covered (either in show or by the creators). It was re-added with the objection that the core points are factual. I\\\'ve brought it here for two reasons.
The most important reason is the fact that WeirdMoon is a sub-trope of ArtisticLicenseAstronomy. If a sub-trope applies, the parent trope should never be used. WeirdMoon is already troped for this show and covers what is being depicted with the show\\\'s moon. ArtisticLicenseAstronomy should therefore not be used.
The second, less important reason, is the fact that the ArtisticLicenseAstronomy examples above are defining \\\'absence\\\' as \\\'fact\\\'. In other words, because it hasn\\\'t been seen and it hasn\\\'t been mentioned it must therefore not be happening and is therefore a violation of a real life scientific law.
