==Explanation==
This is a reference to the myth that the {{w|Great Wall of China}} is the only manmade object that can be seen from the {{w|Moon}} (or from space) with the naked eye.  {{w|Great_Wall_of_China#Visibility_from_space|It cannot}}!  The statement in the comic, however, is actually true, as the features on the Moon is indeed craters and valleys on the surface of the Moon. Except for the {{w|Sun}} (see title text) all other {{w|Astronomical object|celestial bodies}} can only be seen as points of light by the unaided human eye.

The title text states that one is sometimes able to see {{w|sunspots}}.  However, looking at the sun risks extensive damage to the eye and should NEVER be done, unless you still have your {{w|solar eclipse}} glasses from the {{w|2017 Solar Eclipse}}. By using them you could see very large sun spots, if there are any at the present time.

:Megan: Did you know that the moon's craters and plains are the only structures on the surface of a celestial body that can be seen with the naked eye from the Great Wall of China?
