  1. The unless you have information on how the lens was set in the original photo, your comparison is meaningless.

  2.  @simeonb3726  Unless you can cite a credible source that the camera was set up to shoot at 1:1 then you can't say they're fake based on the size of the moon in the image. You would also need to be able to prove the photo is at the original dimensions and hasn't been cropped in. It's very doubtful that you're going to be able to get that information but unless you have all these details, your comparison as you've stated in your original post cannot be applied.

  3. Simeon B "There is a well known optical illusion (known as the moon illusion) where the moon looks larger than it is when it is close to the horizon" That only applies to how the moon appears to the naked eye - not relevant to what we're talking about. "there is no effect to make it appear comparatively smaller" ... apart from a wide angle lens. Like I said, unless you know how the lens was set up you can’t state with any certainty whether it’s fake or not based on how the large or small the moon appears so you’re wasting your time trying to argue your way out of it. Any rational person could see that what I'm saying is just a simple fact.
