"You have a bunny jumping over a
house and casting a shadow on the face of the moon. This indicates
that the bunny has jumped high enough to interpolate itself between the
sun and the moon. The dimensions of the shadow suggest that the bunny
would have to be approximately one-half the size of the earth, which (assuming
that the bunny was mostly made of water) would render it approximately
equivalent to the mass of the moon, at least on the same order of magnitude.
An object of those dimensions placed somewhere in near-earth orbit would
cause massive tidal disruptions on earth and the possible perturbation
of the moon’s orientation, explaining any apparent discrepancy between
current terrestrial observations and the depiction on the CD cover.
It also implies that any astronaut who happened to be there at the time
would see an eclipse of the sun, caused by the occultation of a giant rabbit.
In this case, I tend to think that you
could claim artistic licence. I conclude that the artwork should
bother no one.
My real problem with it is that it’s supposed
to be a COW, for heaven’s sake!
