If you're like me, then after seeing Pixar's Up, you've thought about how many balloons it'd take to float your abode off to some distant paradise. French artist Laurent Chehere wasn't able to round up enough balloons, but he does have a camera and some photo manipulation chops.

On Saturday, May 5, photographers all around the world were presented with a bright, tempting target in the much anticipated "supermoon," which occurs when the moon's elliptical orbit brings it closer to the Earth while full. In other words, it's the largest the moon can look to us terrans, though whether or not our earthbound eyes can actually detect the difference is up for debate. Thankfully, cameras allow us to choose how we want to see and present the world, so here's a collection of photos that show the supermoon as it should be: massive. Check it out in our gallery below.

Deborah Bay's "The Big Bang" is a photo set like that of which you've never seen. In it are clusters of galaxies and space rock that even NASA can't capture. That's because the galaxies in Bay's photos aren't real — they're actually macro photos of bullets shot into plexiglass. Yowza!

Last night, amateur photographer Phil McGrew shot what could be one of the most remarkable photos of lightning ever captured. Pointing his camera out of his apartment window overlooking San Francisco's Bay Bridge, he set a 20 second exposure to snag this photo of eight lighting bolts striking the bridge.
