Actually, they are a series of separate shots digitally superimposed. But it is still a great photo, worthy of becoming a PC Desktop scene. If you go to the APOD page and click on the "Discover the cosmos" link in the upper left corner of the page, you go to a list of past photos, back to 1995. I have downloaded several for use as Desktops.

If so, could the relative motion between Venus, the Moon & Jupiter be used to justify their respective orbital distances?
