Sunset at the North Pole. This is one of the rarest picture that you will ever see in your life when the moon was closest to the earth. The date the picture was taken was Thursday, the 13th of March, 2011.

No. It was emailed to me so I can't vouch for it but I've been there and can believe it.

You will never see this in person because this is a made up digital photo.

This is an old hoax. Remember that the apparent size of the sun and the moon are the same.

Even at the north pole.

I've always been gullible. Let me know if you have a bridge for sale.

It does look pretty though.

Never trust a photo ever. Even if you took the picture. I guess there is bound to be some fakery in it.
