It wasn’t there unless someone was looking at it.

The man in the moon
It's where the dead lived
Artemis and Luna either lived there or actually were the moon
And what about poor Cruithne?

The sun and moon symbolize the conscious and subconscious minds, respectively. The sun is brighter; is more conscious, while the moon is dimmer. Both provides light, with the moon giving light at night for us to see within the darkness of the subconscious; dreams and visions.
The sun was considered male and the moon was considered female. This was connected to male and female fertility cycles, Males can make sperm each day, while females have a monthly moon cycle for fertility.
When the early earth and moon were forming, the earth had surface water which allows heat to be conducted away from the molten surface by the water. It then rained down to cool the molten surface of the earth.
The moon did not have as much in the way of water, so its surface glowed hot, longer than the earth. The result was before the sun was the main external heat source of the earth, the much closer moon was its major external heat source. The unconscious mind; moon, came before the conscious mind; sun. The Matriarchies and Mother Nature appear before the Patriarchies and Conscious Mind.
