פירוש על עבודה זרה 86:9
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
This baraita clearly prohibits making the heavenly images, so again, we have to ask, how could Rabban Gamaliel have made images of the moon.
The Talmud responds with quite a strained answer, one that seems quite certainly to be “making it up.” Rabban Gamaliel did not make the images—someone made them for him. He can use them, because he did not make them.
