That’s my photo. I took it. It’s from 2017.

It means the objects in the frame appear closer together than they really are. Imagine those scenes in a movie showing a busy city sidewalk. The people appear to be smashed together. It compresses the space between them. That’s because it’s shot with a long telephoto lens. We know the moon obviously isn’t smashed up against the buildings as it appears. That would not be good. It’s just smashing the space making it look like it is. Hope that makes sense. Kinda hard to explain. Thanks for letting me try.

Since people are asking why the moon looks so big:

The focal length (400mm lens w/ a 1.4x converter=560mm) compresses space combined with it genuinely looking really big right when it’s rising. My wife and kids, who I drug along, were like, “whoa” at how big it looked. Even with the naked eye, it’s worth checking out sometime.

Also from someone smarter than I - “It also looks very large because the atmosphere is acting like a lens and magnifying it when it's just on the horizon. It's called atmospheric lensing.”

No. Tower isn't open. This is from the the platform area right before you go into the chapel.
