FAKE: Digital Photo of Sun & Moon

Although the above-displayed image has been circulating as a photograph of sunset at the North Pole, it is a purely digital creation. As far as we know, it is a work titled "Hideaway," produced by a 22-year-old German astrophysics student named Inga Nielsen using Terragen scenery redering software. <br />
