This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Why are some of them squished? Wonder if that is a bad edit or if it was actually taken like this due to distortion from the atmosphere somehow.

It’s because the moon is flat and in those photos you are looking at it from an angle.

Someday I'll live there in my flat moon flat.

Flat earther ❌ flat mooner ✅

I would assume it’s the natural visual distortion from when the moon is viewed when really low on the horizon.
