Tribute to Planet Earth 🌎 ♥️


I just found out that this picture is not entirely accurate. Namely because the person who made it said the following about it:

So here they are, the Moon from dawn and Mercury from about 9 AM and placed next to one another in post processing. And these are not to scale, by the way. Mercury would need to be about 1/8 the the size shown to be accurate, but I just left the images at their natural sizes since it looked nicer
 
Saw this on twitter. Credits go to Francisco Sojuel who took the photo.

About the picture:

The night the moon dressed like Saturn⁣⁣.

⁣⁣From afar you may wonder, “Is that an asteroid ring around the moon?”. Well, the disguise of this waning moon is actually a thin cirrostratus cloud. The way the cloud interacts with the moon creates a unique display of beauty that steals protagonism from the surrounding stars. Below the moon? The dimly lit silhouette of volcano Pacaya and the Guatemalan highlands can be appreciated.⁣⁣
