It'd have to be way closer than than though, which would probably require it to have a good portion of itself within the atmosphere. Assuming they haven't stretched the size of it or Alderaan insanely from previous canon, I don't see how it could possibly be large enough to fill up that much of the view on any planet with enough gravity to support an atmosphere, which this one clearly has. Did they confirm that's the Death Star itself though? It looks really different from the Death Star. To me, the dish looks too big. It'd be interesting if it was some kind of crater left by mining entire moon for materials for the Death Star and the Star Destroyer fleet.

I think you're over thinking things, the teaser shot honestly probably won't be part of the actual film first of all, they haven't even started filming yet.

Secondly, the shot is pretty obviously zoomed in, which would cause the object to seem much bigger. They wanted to show something cool and give a hit as to what time period the film will be set in, and that's it really.

Oh, I definitely am. But I just saw someone else posting about it, and figured I'd pipe in, because when I saw it, it was the first thing that I noticed.
