Yahoo makes new myth

Yahoo! should stick to search engine and web directory services. Oh, and I'm OK with group services. But stay out of the news business. They clearly do not care about facts, staying "out of the way," helping me search the web faster.

And now they are creating a new astronomy myth...



Which object is in the centre of the image. It's not the Moon! It makes me think of Venus...

Why are they all the same size?!

And they're assuming no one will live past 50 or so!

This is probably going to create a new flurry of email spam trumpeting "Jupiter as big as the Moon!" Oh boy...

This is funny. These myths surface every now and then, that Mars or Jupiter will be as large and bright as the Full Moon... But that is impossible.
Yes, it looks like they put Venus in the middle, instead of the Moon. A photo might be considered artistic license, but they have made too many mistakes.
