> When the Moon is high, the clouds it is against are closer to the viewer and appear larger. When the Moon is low in the sky, the same clouds are further away and appear smaller, giving the illusion of a larger Moon. @blacK
Clearly I’m not the smart one here. You act like your drunk and I had to explain the photo 20 times since You apparently forget what it’s about every 5 seconds
The moon being higher or lower doesn't have anything to do with it. Different camera lens focal lengths will give you *vastly* different images. Basically, the higher the focal length, the more the background is "flattened" together with the foreground. Take a look: https://cdn-ep19.pressidium.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/focal-length-comparison.jpg
Japan's photo of the moon's surface would have a shallow focal length and capture more of the foreground, but the earth would appear distant. If the ship was very far away from the moon and zoomed in on it, you'd get a much, much larger earth.
