The above image spans about 3/4 degree or nearly 1.5 full moons

So how come you can't see it then? Of course, it's too dim. Way too dim. Well, can you just brighten it up to see what it would look like if it were, you know, a thousand times brighter, or a million times brighter??? The whole thing becomes philosophical. It's a great picture, and represents a really existing object, but don't be deceived.
