"Sunset at the Northpole Hoax"
A scene you may never get to see, so take a moment and enjoy!
This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest
point. And, you also see the sun below the moon.
An amazing photo and not one easily duplicated.
Hoax Comments:
To paraphrase the caption above,
this is very definitely a scene you will never get to see in person,
not on planet earth, anyway — because it's physically impossible for the moon
to appear so much larger than the sun when they are seen together with the naked eye.
Why? Because, given their relative distances from the earth, the moon and the sun subtend
the same angle in the sky, which is a fancy astrophysical way of saying
that from our
earthly vantage point they should always appear to be of equal size.
