100k photo views from one boring moon shot, still weird to me

Took a basic full moon picture with a used 8 inch dob and a phone mount. No fancy filters, no stacking, just a single frame on a clear Tuesday night. Posted it here on a whim, went to bed. Woke up to 100k views and a ton of comments. Someone even asked if they could use it for a band album cover. The crazy part? My best attempt at Jupiter from last month got maybe 200 views. What photo of yours blew up for no logical reason?

Moon shots are a dime a dozen honestly, every phone can grab one now. Jupiter actually takes skill and timing, that's the one people should be upvoting. The algorithm just loves that big bright circle, it's the most boring possible target out there.
