It’s #FAKE video that shows Moon blocking the Sun for five seconds | Fact or Fake

Actually, the video is a graphic animation made by the artist aleksey__nz. It was published in your profile no Tik Tok. No Instagram, the author introduces himself as a digital content creator.

Professor Roberto Dell’Aglio Dias da Costa, from the Department of Astronomy, Geophysics and Sciences at the University of São Paulo (IAG-USP), explains that the video is full of improprieties from a scientific point of view.

“Very false! The apparent diameters of the Sun and Moon are very similar, so much so that in a solar eclipse the Moon almost exactly covers the Sun’s disk, allowing you to see the solar corona that is around it and is only visible in eclipses. On the other hand, in the montage the Moon is gigantic and the Sun is very small. That’s very boring! Not to mention the fact that this little movie is supposedly associated with the lunar eclipse of the 26th. Earth that placed itself between the Sun and the Moon, and not the other way around, as it appears.”

“It’s possible to make a photo or a film in which the Moon looks gigantic. Just use a camera with a telephoto lens that enlarges a lot. The effect is very beautiful, like a photo that circulated a lot and was taken in Chile during the eclipse. , it’s not montage and it was very beautiful.”
