Moon Setting Behind Teide Volcano

NASA APOD · El Cielo de Canarias
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Moon appears large here because it is photographed through a telescopic lens. What is moving is mostly the Earth, whose spin causes the Moon to slowly disappear behind Mount Teide, a volcano in the Canary Islands. The people pictured are 16 kilometers away, watching the Sun rise behind the photographer. This scene captures a moment of celestial mechanics from a unique perspective.
