there are a lot of composites but also true pictures
@A Search for Roche's Rifle I actually know someone who bought one. Not sure if he still has it...but I told him once to never sell it. It might be a worth a lot one day...if only because they will likely get crushed after dying just to rid the world of their ugliness.
oh and it....was yellow too
@Ben Scott How many rockets have supposedly left Earth? shouldn't we have literally hundreds thousands of photos/videos of Earth from "Space" by now?
Seems the NASA cameras all have some serious flaws. They cannot photograph stars. they cannot photograph Earth. Only other planets. curious....
Maybe I should them my old Nikon D300S?
@liks do you also not have a problem with these two photos? supposedly 5yrs apart?
is that also a "two differents angles of view" problem?
Did NASA confirm that these photos were not edited?
LOL. why would any of them need to be edited? curious
and with the same clouds?
were the clouds they viewed that day just too.....ugly?
so they created them in software and just stuck them in?
Yeah maybe
ummmmm.........right
Maybe I should go visit them. see if they need consulting on photography of Earth. might can help them with the stars too.
apparently they can't figure out the f-stop and shutter speed settings on their cameras.
but could be they just lost the instruction manual
I'm especially curious about the lack of photos of the stars from the moon
no space left after they packed their golf clubs apparently
I'm going to work on a meme for this...
We dont need photos of the stars from the moon we have telescopes
Wtf
No need to be rude
But
This is a fact
My great grandfather was a nazi
What is a fact?
What i just said
that's cool. If you want to find out more about those nazis, watch the documentary "The Greatest Story Never Told"
@everyone the earth is flat
thanks @Citizen Z ! hadn't seen this yet
Yea i just found it

In their attempts to cover all the topics in the given curriculum, teachers often focus more on outlining results and theorems; as opposed to taking us on a journey to discover how the science was derived through pristine ideas, experiments and often-elegant mathematics. One problem this leads to is that we end up knowing several facts and formulas without remembering how they were discovered or why they hold true.
Knowledge that has existed for several years is especially susceptible to being taken for granted. One such example is the knowledge that the Earth is spherical as opposed to flat. In this article, the word ‘spherical’ is used lightly; the exact shape of the Earth is an oblate spheroid, a type of ellipsoid.
Our size relative to the Earth is too small to notice a curve. To a tiny creature that has just learned to walk around a small area of the Earth, there would be no immediate indication that the Earth is round. However, our ancestors gradually collected evidence that contradicted the primitive notion that the Earth is flat. This article is a journey through all the ideas and observations that suggest that the Earth is spherical.
1. Ships and the horizon
The horizon is the line at which the Earth’s surface and the sky appear to meet. When ships sailing away disappear into the horizon, they do so bottom-first. The top vanishes later, which creates the illusion that the ship is sinking. Similarly, when ships appear from the horizon, the top appears first, and then the rest of the ship.
2. We cannot see very far away
Let’s say that you are standing on the West coast of North America on a clear day. While you are able to see the sun and moon in the sky, which are quite far away, you cannot see Japan if you look to the west. The reason you cannot see that far away on Earth is that light travels in a straight line and hence cannot follow Earth’s curve.
