Click on the image to see the full thing. You can make out
some of Jupiter's moons as well as the Earth's Moon.

"I've had two teenagers who were considering killing themselves, because they didn't want to
be around when the world ends. Two women in the last two weeks said they were contemplating
killing their children and themselves so they wouldn't have to suffer through the end of the world."
-- NASA Astrobiology Institute scientist David Morrison, on 2012 fears

that's the best thing I've seen all day! Awesome - I wonder if it would look like that to the naked eye.

One problem... Well TWO major problems actually.

1. Notice the way that earth and jupiter are illuminated? See anything questionable? Earth is lit from the right, as if the su is off 90-degrees to your right... and Jupiter is lit almost as if the sun is behind you.

Thia is a FAIL in my opinion...

and 2. Where are the STARS? It seems as if there should be points of light awash across the image, but there is NOTHING...

Possibly explicable by reason of exposure, maybe other issues.

The Martian sky isn't as polluted with light (or much atmosphere
for that matter) but I still think they would be too small
to see like that.

Read the comments at the bottom of the Gizmodo link. From
there I found the original NASA page that explains that it's
a mosaic instead of one image:

Full explanation of what you are seeing there.

Fucked up that Gizmodo would only reference reddit instead of
the NASA image it was taken from.

Earth lost in the vastness of space, is what it makes me think of.

Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God.

STOCK UP NOW. You should have at least 6 months worth of basics for every member of your household. Stay away from crowds when trouble starts, do not forget water storage, tobaccos worth more than gold or silver, and be kind to hungry children.

I know this post is old, but this is a classic demonstration of the kind of astronomical ignorance that leads to "NASA lied" theories.

One problem... Well TWO major problems actually.

1. Notice the way that earth and jupiter are illuminated? See anything questionable?

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 718510

No.

Earth is lit from the right, as if the su is off 90-degrees to your right... and Jupiter is lit almost as if the sun is behind you.

Thia is a FAIL in my opinion...

Quoting: AC

The FAIL is yours. This is BASIC astronomy; Jupiter is an outer planet, farther from the sun than mars, Earth is an inner planet, closer to the sun than mars. Jupiter is farther than the sun in this image; it's mostly "behind" the sun and is therefore being lit from its front. Earth is mostly "in front of" the sun, and is therefore in a crescent phase. You can never see an outer planet like Jupiter in a crescent phase from an inner planet like mars, while you will easily observe planets closer to the sun than your planet in crescent phases when they are in a place in their orbit closer to you than the sun.

and 2. Where are the STARS? It seems as if there should be points of light awash across the image, but there is NOTHING...

Possibly explicable by reason of exposure, maybe other issues.

Quoting: AC

Possibly? Try ALWAYS. In order to properly expose planetary objects, you must use fast exposures that will prevent the image from being "awash in points of light."
