Could it be that the whole Brittish empire is based on exagerations and lies ?
As we clearly see on this authentic imagery from outerspace.
More on how the final image without Ingerlund was captured.
Robbert Simmon :
My role is to make imagery from Earth sciences data. I turn data into pictures. I look for new, interesting events that NASA’s satellites have seen or that are hidden in the latest data to find anything interesting that shows off NASA’s unique capabilities. Finding things is the fun part. I rely on engineers and scientists to produce the data. Their reliable, real-time, stream of 1.7 terabytes a day is incredible–the same as producing 3,000 CDs a day. We know where to look for the interesting stuff because each instrument provides a very specialized type of information. So if I am looking for something specific, I know where to look. For example, recently there was a clear indication that England did not exist. The only reliable imagery of this was from NASA satellites. We basically confirmed the non existance of the largest parts of the Brittish Isles.
By the end of 2018, we finally had enough data to make a snap shot of new Europe. So we did. The hard part was creating a map of the the newly discovered Europian layout with four months’ of satellite data. Reto Stockli, now at the Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology, did much of this work. My part was to open my Caran Dash color box and give every country a nice coating. I think it will match people’s expectations of how Europe truly looks from outer space.
Well, well , well..... who would have thought ??
