The internet died and we didn't even notice it happened.

That’s where you stick the pump needle to inflate it. Gotta start inflating the moon every 15 days ish

No comprendo a que se refiere con tres años de intento fallidos. La luna no se posicionaba en ese lugar o le salía mal la foto?

Really? He doesn't have the ability to change positions? Was he nailed to a pole for 3 years?

This photo was taken by Brazilian photographer Leonardo Sens in June 2023.

This post in here is nothing but a bot's attempt to karma farm off his hard work without even attempting to credit him.

Brazilian photographer Leonardo Sens spent 3 years trying to capture this exact shot of the Moon appearing to rest in the hands of Christ the Redeemer.
He first attempted it in 2021, but couldn't frame the Moon correctly as it moved down too quickly. In 2022, clouds and haze ruined the attempt.
Sens kept studying the Moon's position using mobile apps to determine the exact date, time, and location needed for the alignment. He also invested in a 600mm lens to make the Moon appear larger and closer to the statue.
On June 4, 2023, after another failed attempt the previous day because of clouds, he returned to Icaraí Beach in Niterói, about 11 km from Christ the Redeemer.
He arrived around 20 minutes before the calculated moment and finally captured the long-awaited shot at approximately 6:28 AM.
Three years of planning, failed attempts, and waiting for the perfect conditions — all for one photograph.
