An American idiomatic expression meaning to idolize or adore someone to an extreme degree — essentially believing they're responsible for everything wonderful in the world. To say someone 'hung the moon' means you think they're practically perfect and can do no wrong. Most often used about a deeply beloved person: a doting parent talking about their child, or someone hopelessly in love. It's high praise soaked in affection, implying the person is nothing short of extraordinary.
