[quote:LHP598:MV8yMjk5NDk0XzM5MTYwMTMxX0NGRkU5NTEx] [quote:spacey:MV8yMjk5NDk0XzM5MTU3NjUyX0RGOTUzN0Mx] [quote:#Geomagnetic_Storm#:MV8yMjk5NDk0XzM5MTU3MTQ0XzJBQTJCNTMw] [quote:spacey:MV8yMjk5NDk0XzM5MTU2NzI1X0I3Q0UzOUY3] This picture is completely fake.Saturn is 9.5 times larger than the Earth, but if you look at it from the Earth it looks way smaller than the Earth looks in these photos supposedly taken from Saturn. This is 100% fake. Also, as it was pointed out, the Moon cannot be so close if the distance to the Moon is 30 times the Earth's diameter. No one can be sure of the distances in space and they are completely fake. Furthermore, regarding the glow if the Earth emits so much light how exactly we can be sure that the so-called stars are stars and not planets when obviously they look the same. This is total nonsense. There is no way to be sure how far the stars or the planets are as their seeming distance depends on their brightness only. [/quote] Are you serious? What can't you understand about distances compared to a picture? How can you say the distance isn't correct based on this picture? You realize Saturn looks small because it is far Way right? Can you not comprehend troll? [/quote] You're the confused one. Saturn - Earth or Earth - Saturn the distance is the same. The sizes are absolute - Saturn is 9.5 larger. Hence, the Earth cannot look the same as Saturn and even bigger if looked from Saturn. Please read what I wrote before making strange remarks. If Saturn appears to be small when looked from the Earth, how come the Earth appears bigger than that when looked from Saturn. Do you have any common sense? [/quote] Thank you for proving you don't understand anything about pictures, focal length, diffraction, etc. Is this pic of Earth taken with the same focal length as what ever pic of Saturn you are considering (since you didn't bother to even provide a link it could be anything)? Is the Earth reflecting the same amount of light? Only if the answer to both of those were yes would you have a point. They aren't so you don't. [/quote]
