    OK now that I have your attention <_<

    I just moticed today what looks like small photo of the moon in the background in my MFD in either the consumption or energy screen. It's not there on any other though. Anyone else notice this or is it something that has been there all along and I just woke up?
    And just so no one thinks I'm just having a flashback to the 60's, I knocked off a couple photos of it. Sorry about the quality of the pictures, they are from the camera phone...

    I think that's the Earth with a green leaf shaped like a car over it...

    I also noticed the circular object. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like any Moon crater shadow pattern I’m familiar with.

    I too was under the impression it was a green lief Prius driving on a cloudy Earth.

    Ohhh noooo, I feel a PriusChat poll will soon be called for . . . to find out the percentage breakdown of what PriusChat members think that circular thing is. :mellow:

    I always assumed it was a moon just because of the color, but Earth would make a lot more sense eh.

    As an astronomer I'm fairly sure that's not the moon, but just a cloudy earth as others have said. =)

    There's a satellight dish in there somewhere too.

    I think it's an earth with the clouds in the atmosphere.

    Once I switched to the blue background on the MFD it's clearer.

    hope this helps

    Not really, it's something I read im a book somewhere :)

    Then again, maybe I'm just recovering since I just noticed it yesterday, it seems like everyone else is aware about it (had the Prius since June :huh: ).
    Upon closer investigation, I'll go along with the consenses here, a cloudy earth. But what kind of title for this thread would that make???
