This picture titled "Moonrise Through Mauna Kea's Shadow" makes it look like the moon is rising through a volcano. This is impossible actually and this picture was able to be taken because the moon is rising through the shadow of a volcano. This picture is taken in Hawaii and its location is arguably the best observing spot in the world. The refraction of the moonlight from earths atmosphere makes the moon appear slightly oval in shape. In this picture you can also see cinder cones from old volcanic eruptions near the ground.
Anything is possible.....you just need to believe!
