      Explanation: These people are not in danger. What is coming down from   
      the left is just the Moon, far in the distance. Luna appears so large   
      here because she is being photographed through a telescopic lens. What   
      is moving is mostly the Earth, whose spin causes the Moon to slowly   
      disappear behind Mount Teide, a volcano in the Canary Islands off the   
      northwest coast of Africa. The people pictured are 16 kilometers away   
      and many are facing the camera because they are watching the Sun rise   
      behind the photographer. It is not a coincidence that a full moon rises   
      just when the Sun sets because the Sun is always on the opposite side   
      of the sky from a full moon. The featured video was made in 2018 during   
      the full Milk Moon. The video is not time-lapse -- this was really how   
      fast the Moon was setting.
