AS I'VE SAID - the super moon got everybody's attention mid NOVEMBER 2016. As JUPITER Hit the border of VIRGO the constellation on the 17th of November, fully inside Virgo's perimeter as seen by Stellarium by the 20th November(free software available) -

Jupiter stays for ten months. The revelation sign describes a star constellation and the birth of the church. Jupiter only stays three months? this time ten months. It's a super rare cycle. On the 23rd of September - Rosh Hashana the new year - the star sign completes when Mars,veus and Mercury forms a straight line within Leo above Virgo. The moon and sun also in Virgo. everything suddenly in Virgo?

All in the Jubilee year 2017, 5777 jewish year - the year's meaning in hebrew... the completion of grace. (5) grace (777) completion. hebrew is an old language with meanings for each letter and digit.

NASA ?

https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/novembers-spectacular-supermoon

The moon is a familiar sight in our sky, brightening dark nights and reminding us of space exploration, past and present. But the upcoming supermoon — on Monday, Nov. 14 — will be especially “super” because it’s the closest full moon to Earth since 1948. We won’t see another supermoon like this until 2034.

SUPER perigee-syzygy of the Earth–Moon–Sun system, not very catchy.

Zorro, you are an artist so you know about perspective. A little thought should tell you how that photo was made.
Hint: the moon is 250,000 miles away, an extra hundred yards will make no difference to its apparent size. Stand 100 yards away from a group of people and they will look quite small compared to the moon.

The alternative of course is that it's fake which could be done using photoshop or similar.

photoshop? what's that? As a qualified graphic designer with a degree in graphics, i'm not sure of photoshop's capabilities. you mean ju ju magic?

my old tutor Gerry said to the class on day one (quincy moment)

you are entering a profession where lying is the norm. Ad agencies, papers, print and television.

top tip never look at the focus of the image - always look at the background. you see some strange stuff going on in the backgrounds.

Just the one I've heard of. Photographers get up to some strange stuff as witnessed on Bigmo's thread. Juju magic indeed.Cool

What is that photo supposed to prove? It was obviously take at a distance with a telephoto, which creates such effects.

This is quite literally Father Ted "close and far away" territory.

If you want examples in realtime how perspective and zoom changes, they use it in films calling it a "dolly zoom", e.g. famously in jaws

two people have posted about this light being in the sky? what is it?

So why hasn't the main news even mentioned it? ( not news worthy?)

they went on about the supermoon in 2016 for days, on the BBC, On sky. and I never saw it clearly because of cloud cover?

When is the sky at night? do they mention it?
