Explanation:
If you look closely at the Moon, you will see a large airplane in front of it.
Well, not always. OK, hardly ever.
But if you wait for days with your camera attached to a
Moon tracker in a place where
airplanes are known to pass, you might catch a
good photograph of it.
Well, if you're lucky. OK, extremely lucky.
The
above image was
taken two
weeks ago over
South East
Queensland,
Australia using an
exposure time of 1/250th
of a second and, in the words of the photographer, "a
nerve of steel".
