Nasa releases amazing high-resolution picture of sunlit Earth from one million miles away.(Allegedly)

I dont, as far as I am concerned its all a lie, literally everything is fake at this point. I wouldnt recgonize truth unless it was shot on the Zapruder camera in Dilley Plaza.

Uh, right. Very constructive viewpoint there.

Big deal...its the earth, I'm more interested about things at a local level tbh

Correct, fascinating but how many pictures of Earth do we need to see? Waste of resources and time, try aiming their fancy cameras at the moons of Saturn or Pluto, anything else but another picture of Earth.

That's not all this satellite does.

Are you serious?

I am sure it does plenty, we just dont get the data, we get the post card shots.

You nailed it!!

The point is that the argument given, that one can jump up and down on a moving train and remain in the same spot would not be true if one were some distance (say one million miles from a giant object like the earth) and looking at it spinning 1000 mph. The camera is stable and the object being photographed is spinning at 1000 miles an hour. Do you think the camera is spinning along with the earth at a million miles away?

God, I can't stand that guy.

Yes, the Earth's rotational speed is very fast, but it's also very large. The Earth takes 24 hours to complete one revolution, so any features on one side of the image would take 12 hours to reach the other side, which isn't very fast at all and nowhere near enough to cause motion blur. It's not like the Earth spins like a basketball on someone's finger, completing multiple revolutions a second.

The 'jumping on a train' analogy was in answer to the guy who didn't believe the Earth rotates at all because if he jumps he lands in the same place.

Composite pic = Fake pic.

Nothing to see here.

Where are the background stars, etc?

lol you dingbat there are 0 actual pictures of the earth from the aether

You don't?

Because these kinds of lines are completely "natural and normal"...

Wow you can actually make out continents below all that cloud cover ---there might even be life there ???

rockets dont work in space and the earth is flat.

why do we not see any satellites ? are there not thousands?

High earth orbit is like 63,000 miles. This was taken at like 1,000,000 miles. That's 937000 miles to the nearest satellites.

I've flown around the world. In intervals of course. It sure seemed round. Derp.

and MANY other people long before NASA was even thought of.


Because when you jump you should magically lose all the velocity you had when you were on the ground? If you were on a train and jumped should you fly toward the back?


Again, should the plane suddenly lose all the velocity it had when on the ground?



Its cute that you blame NASA for your misunderstanding when it has been known the Earth spins long before they ever existed.

Satellites are about the size of cars or smaller and the total area they orbit in is far larger than the surface of the Earth. Why would you expect to be able to see them?

where are the stars?

hard to tell where we are without any point of reference.

Looks like the USA after the Madrid Fault blows.
Part of it is missing.

Are you blind or just trolling?

Looks faked ...because thats how it should look but doesnt anymore. just my 2 cents.

This seems a little too convenient... Right after sites like this one make a big stink about the only circulated photo of the earth being from over 40 years ago!

Seriously, just last month I was reading a thread that was begging for posters to find any other "real" photo in a google search.

And now they're like, BOOM, here ya go! New "real" pic of earth from a million miles away.

Sha right!
