Having never used a telescope. My mind is blown away by the size of Saturn in comparison to the moon. Surely this must be a illusion for size comparison due to how far away Saturn is
This is not a recent photo. Saturns rings are almost completely hidden from view because of its current angle relative to earth. When did you take this?
Crazy… It’s like it’s just right out there in front of us. It’s not above us–its just… Over there.
The standalone picture of Saturn looks great.
The composite is pure BS, though. The planets should be much smaller. Here’s an example: https://www.businessinsider.com/saturn-moon-conjunction-smartphone-pictures-2019-4
You can also check with Stellarium on the [21st of August 2024](https://www.virtualtelescope.eu/2024/08/08/the-moon-occults-saturn-online-observation-21-aug-2024/).
The widest apparent diameter of Saturn with rings is about [44 arcsec](https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/560078-minmax-angular-diameter-of-saturns-rings/). The diameter of the Moon is ~0.5°, which is 40 times wider.
Just in case anyone thinks it’s actually real, the image on the left is a composite image. Saturn was photoshopped in, it isn’t really that big compared to the moon.

This is actually how big Saturn is compared to the moon:

This is a ridiculous composite. You can go outside at night and see that Saturn isn’t this large.
This is a low quality repost of a composite photo
Yeah I’ve seen Saturn through a telescope 🔭 before it’s amazing to see!!
Wait what!?AMAZING!! What would have Galileo thought about that view!! Sweet
Dafuq? HOW?
What kind of italian space sorcery is this?!?
This is a fake image.
You cannot get a photo of the moon and saturn together like this.
This is a composition of more than one photo stitched together.
Totally fabricated, thankful for the other comments that explain it and call out BS on OP
