Glitch in the Matrix

Source: Reddit

While this looks like something from The Backrooms or AI-generated, it is not. It's a time-lapse photo of a wind farm. What I find most eerie about it is how the shadows are cast upon the blurred, spinning blades. But it makes perfect sense. Absolutely amazing.

A Moment of Zen

From daryavaseum:

This is my clearest and sharpest moon image i ever captured, i stacked (133,000) frames and 147GB worth of data to achieve this. I've been working on this project since 4 days ago. This image takes up to 22 hours of editing and stacking since the amount of data was massive, also you can see the planet mars as an apparent size compared with the moon which is composed image. Lastly, i hope you guys like it and enjoy the details.

A Trick of Light and Shadow

"Explanation: Why does Saturn appear so big? It doesn't – what is pictured are foreground clouds on Earth crossing in front of the Moon. The Moon shows a slight crescent phase with most of its surface visible by reflected Earthlight known as ashen glow. The Sun directly illuminates the brightly lit lunar crescent from the bottom, which means that the Sun must be
below the horizon and so the image was taken before sunrise. This double take-inducing picture was captured on 2019 December 24, two days before the Moon slid in front of the Sun to create a solar eclipse. In the foreground, lights from small Guatemalan towns are visible behind the huge yolcano Pacaya."
