Correction 🙏 The video is sped up
These people are not in danger. What is coming down from the left is just the Moon, far in the distance. Luna appears so large here because she is being photographed through a telescopic lens. What is moving is mostly the Earth, whose spin causes the Moon to slowly disappear behind Mount Teide, a volcano in the Canary Islands of Spain off the northwest coast of Africa.
The people pictured are 16 kilometers away and many are facing the camera because they are watching the Sun rise behind the photographer. It is not a coincidence that a full moon sets just when the Sun rises because the Sun is always on the opposite side of the sky from a full moon.
The featured video was made in 2018 during a full Milk Moon.

“The video is not time-lapse” – these people were really walking super-duper fast on that ridge.
Thought I was watching something much more terrifying at first.
> The video is not a time-lapse
Huh, didn’t realize the people of the Canary Islands knew the secrets of the Speed Force.
Seems not too much sped up judging from walking speed
“The video is not time-lapse — this was really how fast the Moon was setting.”
Liar.
Looks bigger than usual
“No time lapse” my ass
Hello OP. I gave you a downvote because of your lies
That mountain looks like a piece of fried chicken with ants on it
Here is a [video](https://www.instagram.com/p/DUk9cgZiEdX/) of how he made it.
I took the tour with my kids to lady Teide a couple of years ago to stargaze. Amazing trip.
>> The video is not time-lapse
Do you just say words without thinking that every single person who reads it can tell immediately that it’s a lie?
I thought this was a humorous post, but it might seem that OP is actually serious with the description…
Why fly to the moon if you could just jump?
ur getting downvoted for lying in caption. thats just dumb.
Even though technically not a time-lapse, it is sped up.
No time laps?!? Seriously expect people to believe that???
I mean just look at those people, no one moves like that…

I just looks bigger than a pencil eraser?
So amazing if this is real.
Crazy its actually the earth rotating in front of the moon
Tidy
That focal length is insanity…
Must be like 10,000mm or something
Imagine if this was how the moon actually looked in the sky normally. Yeah I know that would have catostrophic consequences that would lead to the destruction of the planet and life as we know it…but also it would look pretty cool yknow
The moon- it’s crashing into earth! RUN!!!
My fat ass thought this was a chicken tender with ants on it for a second
