why is the src not recognized as correct?

I have input my code as <img src=" \img\moon.jpg " alt= "the moon" > and it is coming back as incorrect, suggesting that I check the src value.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html>
  <head>
    <title>The Moon</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <img src= "\img\moon.jpg"  alt= "the moon" >
  </body>
</html>

Hi there! First, you're doing great, but your src attribute is a little off. Besides not needing the first \, your slashes should be forward slashes.

The src you are looking for is:

src="img/moon.jpg"

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
