This is the moment Mars peeked out from behind our moon after being hidden for an hour. This shot was captured using my largest telescope and a special high-speed camera. Seeing another planet rising on the horizon of our moon was such a surreal experience.

@SciBry
Is the haze from the moon's small atmosphere? I would guess its far more likely to be from our atmosphere or the camera equipment though.

@SciBry that is amazing, is the apparent brightness really that similar or did you have to do some different exposure per body?

@SciBry Wow, this is incredible! I didn't even know someone could get an image of the moon with that resolution. 🀯

@SciBry

My attention was immediately drawn to the definition of the Moon's surface in that shot; that's what had me transfixed.

@SciBry A BRILLIANT image....so tantalizingly close...except for the agonizingly slow speed of our space vehicles.

@SciBry

I'm impressed by the clarity of the picture. Wow!! But also somewhat surprised at the size of Mars in the image. given it is 80M kilometres from earth, I would have expected it to be much smaller. Is that a false assumption?

@saeedwkhan @SciBry I was curious about that as well. Here is an article about another of his pictures; if you compare the blowup of Mars there with the size and curvature of the Moon here, it looks pretty similar:

@SciBry I am surprised that Mars is so big given its apparent size from earth and the fact that the Moon is incredibly close to the Earth as compared to Mars.

Thus is an extraordinary photo. Even when you zoom in it looses none of it's quality.
