But it IS!! This super short video is of the moon as seen from the Arctic Circle – between Russia and Canada. It appears, eclipses the sun, and just as quickly, disappears. Astronomers figured out the exact moment the 30 seconds of this phenomenon would happen in a sea of 31,536,000 seconds a year and recorded it for our viewing pleasure.
If Only it were real. Really. The video was all over the web in 2022 and the fact-checkers went to work to let us all know it wasn’t. As we keep hearing about AI and deep fakes and all of that, I thought this was a pretty good creation. Sometimes nature is phenomenal and sometimes a teenager in a basement has a stroke of genius.
