Explanation: These people are not in danger. What is coming down from the left is just the Moon, far in the distance. Luna appears so large here because she is being photographed through a telescopic lens. What is moving is mostly the Earth, whose spin causes the Moon to slowly disappear behind Mount Teide, a volcano in the Canary Islands off the northwest coast of Africa. The people pictured are 16 kilometers away and many are facing the camera because they are watching the Sun rise behind the photographer. It is not a coincidence that a full moon rises just when the Sun sets because the Sun is always on the opposite side of the sky from a full moon. The featured video was made in 2018 during the full Milk Moon. The video is not time-lapse — this was really how fast the Moon was setting.

说明: 这些观众的安全并未受到威胁。在视野左侧从上向下滑落的，只是远方的月亮。而影片中的月亮之所以看起来庞大无比，则因为是透过长焦镜头拍摄所致。影片中的月亮运动，其实主要是因为地球的自转，使得月亮缓缓滑落到非洲西北海面的加那利群岛泰德火山（Teide）的后方。影片中的观众位在16公里之外，其中许多面向相机，正在观赏摄影者后方的旭日东升。太阳东升时适逢满月西沉，则绝非巧合，而是落日和满月必然分落在天空相反的两侧。这部记录2018年奶月西沉的主题影片，并未应用延时摄影，而是真实呈现了月亮西落的进程。
