As you can see on that picture in the article, the visual size difference in minimal. The picture in this thread is a very simple zoom trick, to make things that are far apart appear closer to each other.
It was shot far away from the buildings, and from that far, the Moon would appear normal size (or that minimally bigger during supermoon), while the buildings would look small. Zoom in, and both get bigger. If it was shot closer to the building, the moon would look smaller.

I wonder if I am in the same shoes as the thread starter. This is not a trick image or a hoax, I'VE SEEN THIS IN REAL IN MONTREAL 20 YEARS ago.

Nah here are shots taken during the supermoon:

Granted that they prolly use an extra zoom to make it look even bigger, but no doubt that they took it during that event.
When i reverse search that image, it shows that the pic was taken on the same date as these.

IF a planet would come THAT close to earth, no doubt we would notice it's gravitational pull, and would have SEVERE impact on the tides of the oceans..

That's what I keep telling. It would be slightly bigger, granted, but not nearly as big as the pictures would imply. Those pictures are simple camera trickery. Professional photographers use this trick every day. Get some good distance between the foreground object and yourself, position it between the camera and the Moon, and boom, you have an image that makes the Moon look way bigger than it really is.
You yourself can see the comparison between the farthest and closest approaches of the Moon.

The size difference is minimal, and photographers simply exploit this minimal difference to make it look ever so slightly bigger. | sausje wrote: | | IF a planet would come THAT close to earth, no doubt we would notice it's gravitational pull, and would have SEVERE impact on the tides of the oceans.. |
Stop using common sense and logic! Using them against stupid ideas is cheating!

Yeah, true that. But i was kinda trying to point out that this was made during a supermoon event, wich you can exploit to make even bigger then you can with the usual moon
