That was my understanding when I wrote the Red Book.

The question here is, which way does the Moon face?  My intuition says that
it faces the Earth, so "in front of the moon" means the same thing under
either interpretation.

In that case, it doesn't make sense to use "left of" or "right of" in
the object-centric context.
