APOD 1.5 (An Airplane In Front of the Moon)

I chose this photo because I sometimes get mistaken when stargazing by airplanes suddenly appearing in my field of view, making me temporarily think there is a new star that I hadn't seen before.  However, they move so fast that I quickly realize that I was fooled, yet at the same time, I know that I will never get a good look at one in flight.  The fact that someone was able to do that, even if it was a small two-engine plane instead of the massive four-engine passenger jets, is just astounding.
