    Is this AI? Can you photograph “the moon illusion”? I only ever saw the moon illusion once in my life and it was big like this.

      I’m really struggling to figure this one out. I’m leaning AI myself but idk. I hate the constant questioning of if everything online is real now it fucking sucks. I want to be able to see a cool photograph and go “hey that’s cool” and move on

        But there are distant trees on the horizon, so if this was, say, maybe a mile away to appear relatively small, those world have to be many more. That works only work on a flat earth.

        Also, the moon and sun appear flattened when near the horizon due to atmospheric distortion.
