As seen through a telescope from Earth, Jupiter does not appear as a crescent. Also, seen at the same magnification as the full moon was shown a second earlier, it would appear much smaller. No stars would be seen right next to the full moon, due to the huge difference in luminosity.

fight scene immaculate

In all honesty, this is a perfect film. Before watching, i questioned myself frequently on the laws of physics and gravity itself. In fact, i believed that the earth was the center of the universe, and that the earth is fully flat, like a frisbee. My father, named michaelangelo, was one of the first people who taught me this very notion, which I still hold true to this day. However, after watching this masterpiece of a film, i realized my wrongdoings in the past. Galileo is truly a genius, and i should stop believing heresay proposed by ancient elders of my generation who are, in all ways, stupid and inane. They should all have regretted teaching me such nonsense. Have a good day.
