I received this in an email.  The picture’s pretty but is it real?  If not, what’s wrong?  Answer in the comments.

Sunset at the North Pole.  This is one of the rarest picture that you may

ever see in your life when the moon was closest to the earth.  The date: Jan 13, 2011.

This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point last week. a scene you will probably never get to see in person, so take a moment and enjoy God at work at the North Pole. And, you also see the sun below the moon, an amazing photo and not one easily duplicated. You may want to pass it on to others so they can enjoy it. The Chinese have a saying that goes something like this: 'When someone shares with you something of value, you have an obligation to share it with others!'
