If it was shot on a real situation, for the FOV it'd require just about 1000mm tele with a 1.6 crop DSLR (the angular FOV is about 1.4 degrees as far as I can estimate) and the atmospherical clarity does not match that kind of distance.
Also getting a balanced exposure is not possible from that kind of setup; remember that the surface of the moon is in bright sunlight (exp. f8, iso100, 1/200s) and the surroundings are in near darkness...
You are probably right. why do we call our moon the moon. But we gives the moons of other planets actual names. It doesn't make sense.

This is real...


It's Gandalf the red...

Our moon is pretty booring. Could atleast have some snow, sea or a twin moon.
