Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Absolutely. This is a well known fake at least six years old.

You do realize the moon in roughly between 356 to 400 thousand km from the Earth, right? A lot of us live maybe between 4000-7000 km from the North Pole (assuming Geographic, but doesn't really matter much in this case). What makes anyone think that such a small change in distance relative to the overall distance of the moon will result in 100x magnification?

This. The moon can 'appear' closer at times, but its simply optical illusion. See 'Moon Illusion'.

Doesn't work in photos though... the camera cannot be fooled.

[–]karlbirkir 1 point2 points ago

The moon can appear big in photos using a telephoto lens, and something in the foreground can look normal sized at the same time. Cameras can easily be fooled and tricked. Like in this picture I randomly picked from google images, by searching "telephoto moon foreground" http://www.universetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/supermoon_florida.jpg

I find the level of astronomy ignorance in this title disturbing.
