38-Minute Exposure of the Moon Streaking across the Sky

Janne, a photographer in Finland, took this fantastic shot that looks like the moon is zooming through the night sky. It's a single exposure that was nearly 38 minutes long. Michael Zhang describes it at PetaPixel:

Janne was shooting with a Nikon D800 and 100-300mm lens at 300mm, f/8, and ISO 100. The trick behind the shot was a 10-stop neutral density filter, which greatly cut down the amount of light hitting the sensor and allowed Janne to shoot a 2258-second exposure — that’s a whopping 37.6 minutes!
