I’ve just understood what you might mean. The zoom-in is not a zoom-in of the same image. The whole-moon was taken at a different time from a different angle and different distance.DRT wrote:Interesting to note that the picture above seems to be a zoomed-in view of a part of the planet that is not the part that the diagram suggests.

In Northern Ireland we have elected ministers of state who still believe in Ussher's chronology, and think the dinosaurs a bad trick by some Victorians.

It's the Perseids meteor shower soon. Reaches its peak on August 14, I think.
Expect heavy rain, thick cloud and fog overnight on August 14-15.
