NASA !! if you can take a 35mm picture of earth in the 1950's, can we please get at least a 480p video of earth rotating from the moon so we can end this debate. please and thank u

[mommayp]

It looks like every other fucking picture of earth

[davidburr]

why is so hard to just take one photo and release it. why are all photos of these images of the "planet" composites.

[NickRoss]

*Oh my god*, The same fucking earth as always.

WHAT HAPPEN TO ALL THE DUST PARTIALS AND SATELLITES MOVING AT 17, 000MPH???

Come on deductive reasoning would suggest that there be stars in the background, it's not a real photo it's a computer animation you can see the digital footprint

The world is flat. The cake is a lie. #flatEarthSociety2016

[mally]

why are they always composed how hard can it be to take a picture of the earth

[TheMrCHELL]

Ok.
Now NASA, release some stunning high resolution and in color photos of the moon's surface.

Come on CNN an intern could have shopped this "stunning photo of earth" in a lunch break.

Did not the Russians take the first photo?
They where the first in space!

Why do they photoshop all the stars and outerspaceness out? That makes it look fake

[earthball]

@0:17 that is not the blue marble image from the Apollo 17 mission (like my photo) that's a computer generated composite picture. The new image you have is just that, an image made up from different images. You can tell just by looking at it. If you were able to take a single, real photo of the Earth in the 60s using a hasselblad camera then why can't you just take a single, undoctored photo now?

Pause at 15 seconds and it looks like doge

The ancient Greeks knew the earth (Gaia as they called it) was round because as an advanced sea-faring civilization they knew a ships mast was visible on the horizon before its bow/hull and that this occurred regardless of what direction precisely the same way. Its only explanation for the very logical Greeks was the earth was a sphere.

a guy in his mid 30's must be saying "that was my first lot of guys could be saying

I want to know why all NASA pictures show round earth when they claim earth is oblate spheroid and not even round at all. Actually they claim it changes shape very often..yet all the pictures given to us are of a round image. Why is this..serious answers please. Im just curious. Not on a flat earth/round earth debate..just curious

[weekolow]

"...composed of a series of shots taken by.." So it's a composite image and not a real photo?

[bobbyconway]

Such a fake picture. North America is 1/4 the size of the entire globe? When Africa is 4 times Larger than North America

[SouthBayLA]

So this proves the Earth isn't flat right?
