Am I supposed to be using <figcaption>?

I tried to use the <figcaption> function to display alternative text, but am receiving an error.

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

The <figcaption> is to describe an image. For alternative text you have to use the alt attribute.

<img src="http://dummyimage.com/200" alt="Alternative text">
