Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Conspiracy theorists complain about the different sizes of the Earth and the Moon from NASA pictures and claim they are fake due to that. However, the varying size proportions can easily explained by the result of perspective and angular size. This experiment simulates two NASA pictures using a basketball and a spherical sculpture from Logroño, Spain. The picture was taken close to the basketball and although the sculpture is bigger than the basketball it looks bigger due to perspective. The sculpture represents Earth and the basketball the Moon.
