Even though it might not depend like much when it ’s so far away , the Moon is moderately huge . In fact , if it was a little closer — as close as the ISS for example — it wouldmonopolize the entire sky .
Yetipc1 , apparently a serious uranology swot , take the familiarity of figure out what it would front like if ol’ Luna was a mere 270 miles out , instead of the 238,855 miles it actually is . Suffice it to say it looks a bit … dissimilar . Destiny , anyone ?

Yetipc1explains some of the trickier details in the picture ’s description :
Normally the Moon orbits much slow than the earth rotate so it rises in the east and sets in the west , however at 420 km it orbits much faster , quicker than the globe spread out underneath , therefore it will rise in the west and sic in the Orient .
… The Moon would orbit very fast , somewhere between 130 mins and 90 mins . … The time in the video is sped up . The moon would transverse the sky slower . Like 10 Fukkianese ( unsmooth guess )
Number - fudging aside , it ’s a wild look into a uncanny alternate creation . Pretty awesome . [ Yetipc1viaReddit ]
