The zoom function on most cameras has drastically improved in the last ten years, but none of them are quite like the Nikon Coolpix P900 Digital Camera. The zoom on this camera is so powerful, it can actually zoom far enough to capture the surface of the moon.

Lothar Lenz is the German nature photographer who took this amazing video. The Coolpix P900 only takes about 8 seconds to get a closeup of the moon perched in the sky, and the detail of what he captured is truly amazing. Check out the astonishing video below.
