This Supermoon Video Of The Moon Eclipsing The Sun Is Digitally Created

BOOM found that the viral clip was created by a CGI artist.

By - Anmol Alphonso | 27 May 2021 6:49 PM IST

A digitally created clip showing a massive moon eclipsing the sun, is being shared to falsely claim that it shows the Supermoon phenomenon that occurred on May 26, 2021. 

The video is being shared in the backdrop of the moon approaching nearest to earth on May 26, 2021, and therefore appearing to be the closest and largest full moon or "supermoon" of 2021. (Read here)

In the 30 seconds clip, a large moon appears quickly, eclipses the sun and moves away.

On looking up the artist mentioned on Tik Tok, we found that the same clip was uploaded by the artist on May 17, 2021, long before the supermoon, which was observed on May 26, 2021.
