As a point of clarity regarding the title of the article, that means they didn’t take the photo at the same moment.
What the title really means is that, the light from this instant in time hit each person camera sensor at the same moment.

- shawabawa3 3y agoThis is needlessly pedantic and also wrong Being 28 meters apart makes a maximum 93 nanoseconds difference in time between the light reaching each other The article says "same millisecond", not "same moment". +/- 93 nanoseconds makes no real difference to the resulting image, the photos were likely thousands of nanoseconds apart edit: not to mention photographs don't capture a precise moment in time but a window of time, in this case one of them captured 1ms of time and the other 0.625ms, and those windows overlapped almost entirely
