bob3160 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 A scene you will probably never get to see. This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point. You also see the sun below the moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cluttermagnet Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 ...and Snopes is a debunking site... Urban Legends-Origins: Although the above-displayed image has been circulating as a "photograph" of "sunset at the North Pole," it is a purely digital creation. As far as we know, it is a work titled "Hideaway," produced by a 22-year-old German astrophysics student named Inga Nielsen using TerragenTM scenery rendering software.

Grasshopper Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yeah, other than looking fake, the moon could never be that size compared to the sun as seen from earth. The sun and the moon have approximately the same angular size as seen from earth...which is why total eclipses are so dramatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
