      Explanation: Why does Saturn appear so big? It doesn't -- what is   
      pictured are foreground clouds on Earth crossing in front of the Moon.   
      The Moon shows a slight crescent phase with most of its surface visible   
      by reflected Earthlight known as ashen glow. The Sun directly   
      illuminates the brightly lit lunar crescent from the bottom, which   
      means that the Sun must be below the horizon and so the image was taken   
      before sunrise. This double take-inducing picture was captured on 2019   
      December 24, two days before the Moon slid in front of the Sun to   
      create a solar eclipse. In the foreground, lights from small Guatemalan   
      towns are visible behind the huge volcano Pacaya.
