In reality, this is a work of art -- not a photo -- titled “Hideaway,” and created by <A href="http://nielsen.sp01.ab-webspace.de/gallery/details.php?image_id=63">artist Inga Nielsen</A>. The scene was intended to be an imaginary celestial place that would be calm and peaceful, and it certainly soothes my mind when I look at it. The giveaway that this really isn’t the North Pole?</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/04/15/sunset-at-the-north-pole.aspx"><DIV>According to a professional astronomer on NASA’s site (which also once used this image as their <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060620.html">Astronomy Picture of the Day</A>), “The scene could not exist anywhere on the Earth because from the Earth, the Moon and the Sun always have nearly the same angular size.”</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/04/15/sunset-at-the-north-pole.aspx"><DIV>The image may not be that far off, though, as the astronomer continued, “the crescent part of the "moon" shown is approximately accurate given the location of the parent star.”</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/04/15/sunset-at-the-north-pole.aspx">This striking image is also a reminder, once again, to always <A href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/02/08/mind-blowing-video-illustrating-how-easily-you-are-deceived.aspx">dig below the surface before accepting something as reality</A>.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/22635ADB-43BE-4428-82B4-8C8B22BA9AD0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
