Indeed, the image is probably stolen from here

 

It could be Moscow...but that image is a rendering...and not very well done at that. Don't think there's anything sinister here, other than the digital artist not getting their scratch.

"Some have written the cloud off as a mistake or a coincidence, but this is not a Chinese teenager’s unauthorized blog. The lunar rover exhibit is a high-profile national project that Beijing designed for the world to view. The painting would have required the approval of dozens of high-level officials before becoming a facet of the exhibit.

“That’s not a small cloud either,” a Reddit user who goes by forte2 said of the painting. “[T]hat would have to be bigger than the Tsar Bomba by an order of magnitude.”

If the tables were turned and nasa or the esa had created artwork depicting nuclear weapons being detonated in China, firings and apologies would inevitably ensue. But it would be naive to expect such a reaction from Beijing. In fact, China’s state-run media recently reported on Beijing’s nuclear war plans, including missile strikes on U.S. cities that would kill upwards of 12 million Americans.
