  • Are there any real pictures of the Earth from space?

  • That's not much of a picture, I find it strange that they can go to Mars but they do not take pictures of Earth on the way there. Are there any real pictures of the Earth from space? No clear pictures from space of the whole earth?

  • You'd have to be deranged to believe those photos are from Mars.

    Three million miles from earth, but hey, the sun is still the same size!!

    No matter, even if you lack such critical thinking skills,  NASA was busted filming with their rover in in the Arctic. That's their "Mars."

    All exposed here:

    Flat earthers have asked this of every mission: how come they never turn the camera around to look back at earth?
    Because they can't.
    You can't get to space.
    No one has gone beyond low earth orbit.
    We did not go to the moon.

    Not only that, but even THIS picture here is admitted by NASA to have been shopped together --
    "The image combines two separate exposures taken on Nov. 20, 2016"

    So with all the space probes we've had we can't get a single authentic straight-on picture of the earth from space?

    Some of the photos alleged to be from Mars have been demonstrated without a doubt to be places on earth.

    Those shots in this video COULD be explained away as training runs ... to teach scientists/technicians how to work with the rover.

    But NASA has released some pictures alleged to be from Mars that have been proven without a doubt to be specific places on earth.

  • Calling their outdoor set the "training area" just allows them to have it in the open with a veneer of plausible deniability.

    That, to me is the most telling evidence that the Earth is not round as we are being told or that they have not gone into deep space. Maybe both.

  • From Mars.

    https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/earth-and-its-moon-as-seen-from-mars
    .
    The linked page currently displays the following:
    .

    .
    From the most powerful telescope orbiting Mars comes a new view of Earth and its moon, showing continent-size detail on the planet and the relative size of the moon.
    .
    The view is available online at:


    The image combines two separate exposures taken on Nov. 20, 2016, by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The images were taken to calibrate HiRISE data, since the reflectance of the moon's Earth-facing side is well known. For presentation, the exposures were processed separately to optimize detail visible on both Earth and the moon. The moon is much darker than Earth and would barely be visible if shown at the same brightness scale as Earth.
    .
    The combined view retains the correct positions and sizes of the two bodies relative to each other. The distance between Earth and the moon is about 30 times the diameter of Earth. Earth and the moon appear closer than they actually are in this image because the observation was planned for a time at which the moon was almost directly behind Earth, from Mars' point of view, to see the Earth-facing side of the moon. 
    .
    In the image, the reddish feature near the middle of the face of Earth is Australia. When the component images were taken, Mars was about 127 million miles (205 million kilometers) from Earth.
    .
    With HiRISE and five other instruments, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been investigating Mars since 2006.
    .
    The University of Arizona, Tucson, operates HiRISE, which was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. of Boulder, Colorado. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, California, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, built the orbiter and collaborates with JPL to operate it. For additional information about the project, visit:

    Yes, LaramieHirsch posted that link and I responded with:

    LH must be referring to this image:
    .

    .
    The accompanying text explains the image as follows:
    .
    A Solar Eclipse from Mars. Curiosity captured Phobos, one of the two small martian moons passing in front of the Sun in July, 2015. Although Phobos is only about 14 miles (22.5 km) in diameter, it orbits Mars at just 6,000 km ( 3,728 miles) which is relatively close. Image via NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS

  • Neil thinks "Mars" is in space, but it's really on Devon Island, Canada.
