Sun & moon at the north pole[^]
The only way I can figure out that this is possible is with a zoom lens to get the moon so big, as the sun would still stay relatively small, right?

It has been snoped[^].

BAH! Too slow, I was busy trying to imagine how the sun would illuminate the moon like that in a 3d space, rather than Googling snopes.

Ah ha! I'll have to remember to do that in the future. I wonder if I've been snoped.

Btw, here is a good website that goes into why its a fake[^].

Being snoped if fairly painful. I'm pretty sure you'd remember it.

I often make very large prints from unexposed film, and every one of them turns out to be a picture of myself as I once dreamed I would be.

Even if you had been snoped, Marc, your credit would still be good with me.

If you're looking for why it's false:
The moon is 29.4-33.5 arc minutes, or 1/2 degree. The sun is 31.6-32.7 arc minutes.

I've seen this type of picture in other places and am amazed.

Photoshop does make lot of things plausible.

Isn't everything on the internet true?
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Call me stupid, but I knew on first look that it couldn't have been taken at the North Pole. Where the hell does all that water come from.

It's obviously a CGI scene just looking at it. And no, it's not plausible; the relative angular size of moon and sun stays the same unless you physically move closer to the moon, at which point you are nowhere near Earth (as well as a bunch of other reasons in that blog post already linked).
