This is a real photo of the moon (OK, I enhanced a bit, but no Photoshop). Seven people are riding in the ISS. The SpaceX Crew-1 Dragon is visible top center, to be joined by a second Dragon on Saturday.
It’s the latest photo by the incredible John Kraus, a rocket photographer I have been in awe of since he was a wee lad. He had only 0.5 sec to capture this fleeting lunar transit with a 3600mm zoom (extreme telescopic telephoto gives great perspective compression, making the distant moon look like it looms large.
