  Yeah. Global warming is pretty bad, but I don't think it's yet *that*
bad. (Although in a few decades, who knows...)

  Since when has Terragen been called "photoshop"?

Was anybody else's first reaction "does the JPEG have an EXIF tag?"?

Doesn't look anything like a photo to me, as others pointed out, apart 
from the sizes being completely wrong no matter where you are in the 
world, there are other significant issues with the image that make it a 
physical impossibility.

It would be nice if someone could take a photo of the moon and venus in
this constellation…

PS: I don't know the angular size of venus by mind, who does?

amusing.  You search for "north pole sunset" in both google and flickr and
several copies of that image come up.

I don't see any particular "significant issues with the image that make it a
physical impossibility" with it though, apart from the sizes, which could be
edited.  Specially in the face of HDR photography making photos look like CG,
like this one with 3 min exposure:
