“Not same time, not same place:
The moon rises every day about 50 minutes later than the previous day. (Half the month it rises at daytime).
Due to all this, the moon as seen on the right is visible at dark only at the evening on the west. The moon as seen on the left is visible at dark only early morning on the east.”
“Abt to create an infinite symbol.”
“This is so confusing and wrong.
From an observer somewhere on Earth’s northern hemisphere: the left half of the moon is illuminated in the third quarter, viewed looking east. The right half is illuminated in the first quarter, looking west.
Seeing both the left half and the right half illuminated over the same mountain from the same location is, somehow, not right. But I’m not smart enough to figure out exactly how wrong it is
If same place, not same time, if same time not same place I think
Edit: I figured it out. It’s a composite image of images taken on nonconsecutive days (over mountains in Italy, for those curious). The images of the moon waxing were taken in July-October, and the waning images were taken in January. And they had to ensure clear skies/nice weather too.”
