Is the image astronomically possible at ANY time of day?
Since the Moon
is at full moon and is on the
horizon,
the cow
must be jumping
at sunset
or sunrise.
Cows
can only jump
the Moon when it
is on the horizon
since they can only jump so high.
Note the full moon in the image means the Moon is in opposition to the Sun. So for a full moon at moonrise/moonset, the Sun must be at sunset/sunrise.
