No, and I do not know the whole story, and do hope I was wrong in my 'stingy' comment.
But a cut was made, this much for the science - this much for grandma. Were I to stumble over a lunar, I think I'd place the cut differently - but that's a decision I'd have to be extremely lucky to ever get a chance at making.

Yes, pictures would be nice, for us earthlings.
