    I thought that too but based on the fact that not all the planes are aligned / parallel with the runway

    Truck is still attached to the container, which is being lifted by the crane.

    The ATAT in New York one was faked too. I'm not sure, but the 'Jupiter in place of the moon' one might be fake as well. 'Cool' pics. Not 'real' pics!

    Yes it's faked , look at the bands as that's the orbital plane.

    If you were looking at Jupiter from the equator it would be a full circle.

    To get Jupiter that high above the horizon you'd have to be up near the Arctic circle and the vegetation is wrong.


    Also the picture is too bright there'd only be 4% of the sunlight we're used to.

    Also, givin the mass of Jupiter compared to the moon, to maintain an orbit the two bodies would be whizzing around at such a speed that steady, unblurred photography would be a virtual impossibility.

    Just to be pedantic, that's NOT a hamster - a cute critter/rodent, but not a hamster. Also, I never realised that dashboards were equipped with hamster wheels and tunnels.

    Not so because Io's orbital period is1.7 days so plenty of time.

    Also I've realised that a simple overexposure would solve the problem of less light at Jupiter's orbit. :o

    And the shadows of the plants match the way Jupiter is lit up.

    I'm beginning to have doubts now...

    I literally thought that meant "No Tie-Fighters x5" until I was around 14. I thought it was graffiti. The "x5" made no sense to me though. It wasn't until I looked up and saw them everywhere until the penny dropped.

    I stand corrected, if we're not talking about Syrian hamster. It's probably a Chinese hamster, so. :)

    I am calling fake on the crashed tie fighter too. Notice the storm troopers rather than tie fighter pilots?

    Formula 1 motor sport.

    Red Bull racing HQ was broken into and recent trophies were stolen. They were found in a lake.

    The picture is the Mclaren F1 teams HQ who have a large body of water built in.
