On what planet was this photo taken? It wasn't the earth, because seen from the earth, the moon and the sun subtend nearly the same angle (as anyone who has seen a full (or near-full) solar eclipse will know.

I confess I have no idea. Perhaps the world of Photoshop. But, it's a lovely picture, something out of Chesley Bonestell, so what the hell.

My wife sent it to me and I thought it was a pretty picture too. I think I need to modify the headline.

[If you don't understand what's going on, I modified the headline and eliminated the problem, and I thank one and all for the wise correction.]
