why is the moon moving so fast? doesn't it revolve around the earth once a month?!? that quarter turn we see in the vid is only over a period of a few hours. someone please explain, NASA, I am looking your way :)

@yfrimer Thats no moon, its a space station...

[khaloyi]

Fake...How come the sattelite is not effected by the moon gravity?? nice 3d max work!

@yfrimer the moon is moving with the earth as it rotates every day, and moves away slowly to complete a 360 turn around the earth once a month.

@yfrimer It seems to move so fast because the probe taking teh picture is allso moving. The Mon being in the foreground crosses the field of view faster.

are you sure it's not a space station?

[SlLENTHlLL]
