Moon Setting Behind Teide Volcano

NASA APOD · El Cielo de Canarias
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Moon appears large here because it's being photographed through a telescopic lens, setting behind Mount Teide in the Canary Islands. The people in the foreground are 16 kilometers away, watching the sunrise. The Earth's rotation makes the Moon appear to slowly disappear behind the volcano. This perspective makes a distant object seem much closer and larger.
