   Explanation: These people are not in danger. What is coming down from
   the left is just the Moon, far in the distance. [6]Luna appears so
   large here because she is being [7]photographed through a telescopic
   lens. What is moving is mostly [8]the Earth, whose spin causes [9]the
   Moon to slowly disappear behind [10]Mount Teide, a volcano in the
   [11]Canary Islands off the northwest coast of [12]Africa. The people
   pictured are [13]16 kilometers away and many are facing the camera
   because they are watching [14]the Sun rise behind the photographer. It
   is not a [15]coincidence that a [16]full moon rises just when the
   [17]Sun sets because the Sun is always on the [18]opposite side of the
   sky from a full moon. The [19]featured video was made two years ago
   during the full [20]Milk Moon. The video is not [21]time-lapse -- this
   was really how fast [22]the Moon was setting.
