Those NASA pics of the moon passing in front of Earth look fake. Where's the shadow, huh? http://nyti.ms/1L2u33C pic.twitter.com/cJsHEE7zcI

@kchangnyt Good question. Is the date for this image known. And was there an eclipse (in the pacific ocean)?@NYTScience
@cees_dekker Pics taken July 16, between 3:50 pm and 8:45 pm ET. No solar eclipses, total or partial, that day.http://nyti.ms/1P1WjkZ

@kchangnyt could it be that distance earth-moon was relatively large that day, as to focus the cone for total eclipse above earth surface? -
@cees_dekker Nah, it’s a simpler reason of geometry. Answer here:http://nyti.ms/1L2u33C - 1 more reply
