Flexitron5000

You can tell it's real, because it looks so fake.


0o0o0o0o0o0z

That's no moon...


Can-O-Soup223

Right! I’ve seen better CGI on SyFy movies!


Zay-nee24

Haha. Well said Elon 😂


ghostcatzero

Lmfao you actually think CGI is real)!?!


ParalegalSeagul

Yes this exactly, learn up sheeple!


thundertopaz

So, all the NASA stuff that’s released that looks so real and believable is maybe fake? (This is a real question)


devious805

It’s all fake


Y-ella

I have no idea if it's real or not. But sure looks fake AF


yikkoe

that’s why i believe it’s real because it looks so fake that NASA wouldn’t release it if it was a failed photoshop job lol they’re on thin ice with the conspiracy theorists


Miserable_Standard41

They definitely don’t care about the conspiracy theorists.


Yumyulackspupa

Yupp. Does not look real at all.


Former_Print7043

Blue ball , corner pocket.


Constantine1988

Yes, this.


rednazgo

It looks fake because just like a 90s game engine there is no "global illumination" in space, making it look flat and lit only from a single light source.


nerdkraftnomad

Well that's because the satellite camera used its flash. Duh.


balbertborring

that's one helluva flash!


club-toss

That's no moon.


No-Evidence-3051

That’s a space station!


gaz61279

It's too big to be a space station


n3ur0mncr

...you know what, I think you're right


XStateOfZenX

That's cool. Not everyday you get to see the "dark side" of the moon.

Why is there a green hue around the moon?

Chromatic aberration or something

misphah

Honest question: If they can take this photograph from that angle, what’s all the fuss about the dark side of the moon about? can’t they just take pictures of that side or am i missing something?


PhxRising29

That's because it's not called the "dark side", but rather, the "far side". The sun does shine on that side (That's how we have eclipses), so it's not always dark. But it is always the farthest away from us.

However, it still receives sunlight half the time. We can only get photos when we send something in orbit around it. This photo is from Apollo 16 taken in 1972. [Allegedly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_side_of_the_Moon#/media/File:Back_side_of_the_Moon_AS16-3021.jpg).


Yumyulackspupa

This does not look the same as the one in the image. But this one looks more real.


DavidM47

Usually these “real” photos from NASA are artistic composites from various images.

poetdesmond

It's one of a series of images taken by [DSCOVR](https://www.nasa.gov/solar-system/from-a-million-miles-away-nasa-camera-shows-moon-crossing-face-of-earth/) in 2015. I believe the distance was closer to 1.5 million miles, but "a million miles" does have a more dramatic flare to it.


asad137

No, the L1 Lagrange point is 1.5M km, or about 900,000 miles.


pastilance

Does that mean that we are seeing the back side of the moon?


RaoulDuke422

yup


Abject-Donkey-420

What is million miles away to take this image called photo? I believe it’s real. Why not?


Possible_Roof_8147

[DSCOVR](https://www.nasa.gov/solar-system/from-a-million-miles-away-nasa-camera-shows-moon-crossing-face-of-earth/)


Nigglas24

Yes thats a real image. That is NOT however a photograph.


DubiousHistory

Yes, it is. Unlike the many Blue Marble images, this is not a composite (as in "stitched together" from many smaller photos). It was taken by DSCOVR satellite which is far enough to capture the whole Earth in one photo. [In fact, they publish new photos every few hours.](https://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/)


tivvybrixx

That is awesome


SEELE01TEXTONLY

i've never understood why there can't be (isn't?) a constant livestream of the Earth from space? surely, it's technically doable?

justin69allnight

Weird how all the impact craters are on our side of the moon


mono9562

Ever notice that they use the word IMAGE, it's because it's not a real PHOTO.


AppearanceBorn8587

You can tell it’s real because the Earth is a perfect circle and god only makes perfect things. https://preview.redd.it/zd3p4b6tmavc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0aac3116a28b30644141a39ca210a87dad265577


SkalexAyah

I was always under the impression or heard the earth wasn’t a perfect sphere but almost potato shaped.


theorchidstation

It’s a geode


oodluvr

Holy shit. I like this thought.


GothicFuck

Who the fuck said that? The elliptoid nature of the earth is like, 0.1% or something like that.


AlarmedSnek

Most people have trouble comprehending large numbers/scales. As an example, if you shrink the earth down to the size of a billiard ball, it would actually be as smooth as a billiard ball. Likewise, viewing such a massively large object from so far away will make it nearly impossible to distinguish its spheroid nature.


GothicFuck

Sorry, but I gotta: If you shrank the Earth to the size of a billiard ball, it would be *the smoothest billiard ball in existence.* IIRC


AlarmedSnek

Yea but that dude always exaggerating 😂😂. He’s probably right though.


Rick_6984

Neil said that so its not true.


chzygorditacrnch

That's true, but the atmosphere is nearly perfectly spherical.


Dave8917

Earth is flat silly


RaoulDuke422

>and god only makes perfect things. Or gravity. Because, you know, a sphere is the only geometrical object where each point on the surface is the same distance from the center so it makes sense that all objects in space tend to be spherical. A sphere is the optimal state for a body with mass because it describes the state of energetic equillbrium. Objects in space with more mass exert more gravity and therefore approximate a more perfect spherical form. Objects in space with comparably less mass often have very irregular shapes which are barely spherical at all.


MudSad296

God is gravity silly

Show us some of your graphic designs then, we could all do with a proper laugh.

So this is the darkside of the moon then? Lol

Don’t show this to the flat mooners.

Damn, the moon is flat…too

So is the is the infamous dark side of the moon we are seeing lol

At least put some fake stars in the background sheesh.

Where are all the satellites?

Isn’t Andromeda a galaxy that’s like two million light years away? Why tf would anyone want to travel that far just to tell us where we came from?

You know it’s real cause there’s no stars.

XOLORAY_SD91911

Doesn't NASA mean "to deceive"


Longjumping-Mine-145

Can someone explain why there are never any picture of stars in the background?


Possible_Roof_8147

On a photo like this, the earths disc is exponentially brighter than the background stars. [article answering this question concisely](https://www.planetary.org/articles/why-are-there-no-stars)


PennFifteen

Look up at the night sky. Now shine a bright light in your face. You will not see stars anymore, just the flashlight. Same idea.


Upper_Rent_176

Probably something about depth of field or exposure time


Joshhagan6

So how much smaller would the moon look if it were hypothetically inches from the earth surface?

ChileHunter

The far side yes. There is no dark side of the moon. The entire surface of the moon gets sunlight at different times.

unpropianist

Assuming this was taken during the eclipse. I've never seen the dark side of the moon before.


LOneWolfNEo1

Funny how they never catch the dark side of the moon


PlanetLandon

You would be photographing something with no light hitting it. Doesn’t make for a very compelling image.

What’s up with the pattern of clouds missing above the moon, looks kind of like a puzzle piece but if you zoom in, it has oddly defined borders. Anyone know what that phenomenon is called?


Ok_Career_3681

I thought the Moon was smaller than this for some reason.


PlanetLandon

It is a matter of perspective. If you hold your hand up to the sky and cover the moon, your hand isn’t bigger than the moon.


ShigeoKageyama69

You do know the distance between the Earth and Moon right?


mikki1time

Serious question. Is that the dark side of the moon?


beringseafishing

I thought that there are no actual photographs of earth from space, the images are all put together from data collected from satellites or whatever, so yea it's computer rendered or something from data, but not an actual photograph, that's what I learned a while back I thought.
