The illusion of the Moon falling behind the volcano peak

A photographer creates the illusion of the Moon falling from the air to the ground while shooting a full moon setting with a long-range lens.

Daniel López, a photographer in the Canary Islands, recorded the progressive full moon and the Sun rose early in the morning on May 30 from the position near Teide volcano on Tenerife, according to National Geographic. In the video, the huge moon quickly approached more than a dozen people standing on the cliff. After that, the sphere disappeared gradually behind the cliff, creating a feeling as if the Moon had just fallen from the sky. According to NASA, this is an example of hallucinations tricking viewers .

Very small figures are at the top of a volcano 16 km away

López uses a long-range lens to record. This type of lens can erase the distance between objects in the foreground and background, a very popular effect in whale shots off the coastal California, USA, impressing the raised whale. the water surface is only a few meters from the shore.

In this special frame, very small people look at the top of the volcano 16 km away. The moon behind them is actually at 386.243km. The shooting position was so perfect that it made its glowing circular disk look like it was filling the sky above the mountain top.

The Moon seems to dive very quickly due to the rotation of the Earth. Turning at about 1,600km / h, the Earth's rotation is difficult to recognize when we stand on the planet's surface, unless we stare at objects in the sky for a long time.
