Thinking that the existence of one fake photograph proves that all photographs are fake requires a total lack of rational thinking ability. [edit: My point is that the authenticity or otherwise of this one image is irrelevant]
@Peterincan
Funny story. The guy who made that image, Robert Simmon, had no idea that Apple had picked it as the default iPhone wallpaper until he turned his phone on for the first time. Since he made it while working for NASA, it was public domain, so they didn't need permission.
@saltyyankee5149
the obvious right answer is that we need spherical iphones to properly render the blue marble in it's full glory
@kingofpenguins4157
The basketball analogy actually really helped me understand the proportions, thank you!
@zachary4670
I’ve seen that photo a million times and never once noticed the “obviously photoshopped” bits
@LamNguyen-ur7jw
The fact that there are gaps in the satellite images actually proved that the earth is not flat. (I just returned to this comment 3 months later and wow the replies are hilarious. This is just a thought I had and I could be wrong. You don’t have to treat it with the seriousness of a published research paper.)
@quel2324
It's not like anyone's claiming the composite images aren't edited?? All NASA (and other agencies') images have very strict descriptions. If it's a composite, it will say it's a composite. If it's corrected color, it will say corrected color. All the information is online.
@agentdopkant
Still can't get over the logic of "my default iphone walpaper is photoshopped and therefore real images of the earth from orbit don't exist"

Production quality is insane
@brandongoodman270
It's crazy how people actively avoid searching for knowledge but will settle for, and seem to find pride in, ignorance.
@augustday9483
I once saw a picture of a model. The image was clearly photoshopped to remove blemishes from her face and make her look as attractive as possible. So, since that image was edited I'm pretty sure that women don't exist. 😄

The Earth is not a flat disc. Its a cube. Jack Black told me so in a dream
@TheRealBanana
For around 100-200 USD you can set up your own system that's capable of receiving live weather imagery from space, both geostationary and polar orbiting! Just need an old satellite TV dish with a home-made helical antenna feed (or just get a Nooelec GOES dish), an RTLSDR radio, and some software like goestools or satdump to tie it all together. The last big eclipse I was able to watch the shadow move across the entire country with that setup!
@2456gamer
Also talked to a dude who explained the need for composite images as follows “clouds, lots of them, all the time.”
@moth.monster
I went outside and took a panorama of a landscape, which was clearly edited. Therefore, the landscape itself does not exist
@SlenderverseTrash
I just love photos of the earth. Because that’s us, that’s our home. We took that picture. It’s silly but it makes me happy.
@Nekorbmi
it still trips me out on how ignorant some ppl are to not do actual research into an interesting claim of a picture. when i first heard about this I was like there has to be a decent reason on why this was allowed to be photo shopped but some ppl take it for granted and still claim that "the powers" have to be hidding something.
@MrSupernaturalLife
Thank you for the basketball comparison. I could kind of get an idea thanks to the images, but the analogy really cleared it up.

I love her voice and vibe. Loving these videos!
