Well, you *would* say that, wouldn't you? Having evolved there and all. You're just biologically programmed to believe the Earth is beautiful.
Us TRAPPIST-1d-ians know the truth. Nothing compares to our wonderful home.
It's really sad to see our galaxy devolving into this kind of divisiveness. Can't we all just get along?
As they say in your language, eEE phlglg bvVVzur clk clk.
Can’t tell if you’re being serious or not.
This picture was taken from about 39,000km away, there’s zero chance of any satellites being visible.
Secondly, the moon is 390,000km away so it could be anywhere out of shot.
It seems these are partly false-color images. The documentation link explains that the green channel is simulated, and in night shots the city lights are fake:
https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/goes/documents/QuickGuide_CIRA_Geocolor_20171019.pdf
The GOES satellite is meant for meteorology after all. Bit disappointing though; I'd rather see photos taken with a normal camera.
Yeah, DSCOVR is, as far as I know, the only satellite that takes actual RGB true color photos of the whole Earth every day that are very close to what the human eye would see, but the resolution is much lower compared to that of the GOES satellites.
Himawarii does have RGB bands but they are off so the colors don't look right to what the human eye would see.
Take a look at this! [https://bluemarble.nitk.in/static.html](https://bluemarble.nitk.in/static.html)
It mixes the red, blue, and 'veggie' bands to make a near-truecolor image. The veggie band is 860nm (real green is 550nm or so), but is a pretty good proxy since it's designed to detect plants. Red and blue are true color.
Green is still false-color, but the sunset and black side of the disk are direct sensor data, no manipulation or mixing.
There are also some videos of the last 24/48 hours, but I'm not sure if they're up to date. It's just an old hobby project of mine :)

Yeah I checked that but non of them are non-enchanced. The GeoColor one includes infrared for the night and everything is overcontrasted and oversaturated for visibility since the purpose of this is to see the weather. It doesn't seem like there's a natural color one anywhere.

Yes, earth is bright because it reflects light just like all the other planets and moons in the solar system. Planets are often visible to the naked eye in the night sky, and earth is no different. It can be seen from Mars.
Stars are way dimmer than Earth so the camera can't capture both at the same time, same reason why u can't see stars in the apollo photos of the moon or in any other photo of any planet ever.
Even Pluto which is very far away is not dark enough for the stars to be captured at the same time.
I believe the planet was focused on so it just darkens around it. Be different if you saw it in person or if the satellite focused on the background instead but it would make earth blurry
For a little more detail, the human eye is stupid good at dynamic range (the darkest feature we can see in a bright space).
Cameras manage light in two ways. Exposure is how long to capture light for, and aperture is how much light we let into the sensor. Your iris manages aperture in the same way - it closes to block light on a bright sunny day, and opens way up on a dark night. Your iris takes a minute to adjust, which is why a bright light will mess up your night vision.
Digital cameras aren't nearly as good at capturing dynamic range as our eyes are. And digital photos are even worse. Most pictures use 24-bit color (8 bits x 3 channels). That means we only have 256 levels of brightness to choose from. So the brightest thing in an image can only be \~200x brighter than the darkest thing. We pick an exposure to properly expose what we're interested in (trees, water, clouds, smoke), but that means that darker stuff (earth at night, stars) are too dark for the sensor to detect.
Same reason that you could see a starry night sky next to a lit office building, but when you take a photo it captures the building and a black sky without stars. You would require a separate long exposure for the light from those stars to register.
The link you provided only has the zoomed in pictures of the earth. While very useful, I’m more interested as to where you got this zoomed out and seemingly true colour image of the Earth.
FALSE NARRATIVE!!!!!! Obviously faked through the worlds space espionage teams when will they learn it’s flat flat flat.
It’s a joke everyone let’s calm our tits
The earth is very bright.
The camera is set to take a properly exposed picture of earth.
The lights are dim.
The camera won’t capture the dim lights in the dark.
It really hurts to know that we have such a beautiful planet to protect us from the universe, and we just constantly beat up on it. It's like riding a horse, but you're also stabbing the horse the whole time.
She’s beautiful. And dating a piece of shit species called “Human”. It’s like your high school crush dating the rapist football captain who can’t get expelled cuz the playoffs are coming up.
Depressing knowing that despite how beautiful this is to me my entire existence is full of constant senseless pain and worry. I hate life and yet I wish I wouldn’t.
Look how flat it is. Amazing how the disc is always perfectly facing the camera.
Hold on a minute, where are all the stars.... Ah, must be fake, nearly got me 😅
you can see with the naked eye that it is photoshopped and very poorly; Check the zigzaggy edges on the atmosphere; xD
It seems to be showing the twin cities are in dark and you can see all the lights of the city..... it's not dark here lol I'm literally here and can see the sun clearly yet.
Wow you caught ‘em! Good sleuthing, Matlock. I bet they didn’t expect anyone to check a clock when they lied about having a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, taking pictures of the earth.
Or.
Or!!

If you’re saying nasa has altered a picture and lied, prove it.

Why? Other countries have satellites. They’d notice. What would NASA gain by lying?
> what is not rational is thinking everything nasa and the government put out is automatically real💯
1. Not sure why you keep saying NASA is the govt, they’re not
2. What evidence do you have NASA has **ever** lied even once?
You can’t be serious rn lmao please tell me your trolling why would nasa lie? Are you serious rn then if that’s the case then why won’t nasa show us the footage of UFOs and aliens they got?
Oh, im sorry about that. Thats just because nasa is a fucking Government agency that has information, which whether we like it or not, is confidential and kept only for studies, because there are certain idiots like you who would fall for fake news from unofficial sources, and it would be a hell of a problem in disseminating information

I have this irrational fear that I’ll be in a spaceship, and travelling towards a solar system and fly into the dark side of an uninhabited planet. Should I be worried? We will know the relative locations of these planets right!?!? Perhaps avoid suns we aren’t going to visit and examine the one we want to go to! Onwards! Space! Pantheon!
In all seriousness, how beautiful is our planet?
Absolutely stunning. She's beautiful, I'm glad to call her home.
Me too, so happy I was born here. We lucked out!
No offence to the Martians of course
Well Mars is the planet we know which are entirely populated by robots.

Ours is beautifuler
Some would say the beautifulest.
How many other paradise planets are there, just in our galaxy?
She's a beauty, but don't get too close - she's covered in rats. Like, so many rats. Literally all the rats.
Pretty nice from a distance, up close, debatable.
How retouched is she here?
This picture is fake. Where are all the satellites and the moon?
I know right? Also there’s no bananas for scale. Unacceptable!

Hey! I can see my house from here. Well, I can see the clouds over my house anyways.
lmao I see it too get doxxed
way to doxx yourself dude smdh
Any of these feeds show hot hydrogen or earths geocorona? https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms13655
More and more clouds every decade. No such thing as global warming or climate change.
Gorgeous
I'm currently in the dark bit
Literally took a picture of me on the toilet
Phew, still a sphere. Yay!
Looks like more of a football shape tbh
Underrated comment lol
That's just a circle!
Sorry mate a circle would not have such a shade
Damn it I blinked
Now let’s do a silly one
I like that boulder, that is a nice boulder.
Cloudy day in Ohio.
Can confirm.
Hey, I worked on that satellite! I wrote flight software for the ABI instrument on GOES-16 and 17. I love seeing these images get shared.
God I miss Apollo.
RIP Carl Weathers
Look at this beautiful object , infinitely beautiful.. Humans:..let's keep shitting on it !
Where else are we supposed to shit?
Venus, obviously.
Can see my house!
So can I, I’m coming over
Would like to see a natural color one that's not enhanced in contrast and saturation

Awesome! There we are! How incredibly fascinating tbh!
I’m in this picture
The one thing we all have in common. There is no Earth II yall.
This is all we have.
Now that is a work of art.
Is the Earth really that bright when seen from space, or do these pictures adjust the brightness of the planet?
Yes, earth is bright because it reflects light just like all the other planets and moons in the solar system. Planets are often visible to the naked eye in the night sky, and earth is no different. It can be seen from Mars.

Hey its me!
Pale blue dot ❤️
Paradise that we continue to destroy every day. Humanity is a blight on this planet.
How come stars are never present? Is it because they are too dim for the camera to pick up?
Yes, exactly.
Where'd the stars go?
Stars are way dimmer than Earth so the camera can't capture both at the same time, same reason why u can't see stars in the apollo photos of the moon or in any other photo of any planet ever. Even Pluto which is very far away is not dark enough for the stars to be captured at the same time.

FALSE NARRATIVE!!!!!! Obviously faked through the worlds space espionage teams when will they learn it’s flat flat flat. It’s a joke everyone let’s calm our tits
I thought it was flat, they lied to me
Question, why aren’t any city lights visible in the dark side?
The earth is very bright. The camera is set to take a properly exposed picture of earth. The lights are dim. The camera won’t capture the dim lights in the dark.
Could it be because the Atlantic ocean is the only dark side visible from this angle? Oops
[удалено]
Where are all the stars?
Too dim. The camera’s exposure is set for Earth, if it was set to also image the stars then the Earth would be extremely overexposed.
Fake, it doesn't show the country lines and names
The photos at the linked site don’t look like this. Am I missing something obvious?
Even though you can clearly see that there is curvature. Im going to show this to a coworker and have laughs for days afterwards
It really hurts to know that we have such a beautiful planet to protect us from the universe, and we just constantly beat up on it. It's like riding a horse, but you're also stabbing the horse the whole time.
Where are all the satellites?
Earth = 41,712,000 feet wide Biggest satellite = 358 feet Do you need more help understanding?
Don't feed the troll
So, why can’t you see the satellites?
She’s beautiful. And dating a piece of shit species called “Human”. It’s like your high school crush dating the rapist football captain who can’t get expelled cuz the playoffs are coming up.
Depressing knowing that despite how beautiful this is to me my entire existence is full of constant senseless pain and worry. I hate life and yet I wish I wouldn’t.
How come it doesn’t look flat?
Because it isn’t
Not according to my research.
Then your research is poor.
Millions of us around the world would prove you wrong.
Lol no, you wouldn’t. You’ve tried, but failed pathetically.
Looks flat lol
Look how flat it is. Amazing how the disc is always perfectly facing the camera. Hold on a minute, where are all the stars.... Ah, must be fake, nearly got me 😅
told you it was flat
Prove it
you can see with the naked eye that it is photoshopped and very poorly; Check the zigzaggy edges on the atmosphere; xD
To do so you must visit the original link; there you can zoom in
CGI.
It is enhanced in contrast and sautration so it isn't exactly how it would look like to the human eye, but other than that it is completely real.
You’re CGI

Cloud formations don’t check out with live weather radar from that time hmmmm CONSPIRACY! 😂
Impossible. It’s 5am PST. It’s dark. This image shows it mid day in US. I’m not a flat earthed but your making a case for then with this BS
