NASA on facebook sent me this
This picture of a crescent-shaped Earth and Moon -- the first of its kind ever taken by a spacecraft -- was recorded Sept. 18, 1977, by NASA's Voyager 1 when it was 7.25 million miles (11.66 million kilometers) from Earth.
This photo was made from three images taken through color filters, then processed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Because the Earth is many times brighter than the moon, the moon was artificially brightened so that both bodies would show clearly in the prints.
Now first, once you find the moon in that picture, good job. And second after all that photo-shopping, am I supposed to believe this picture is real? It just sounds like NASA saying, "Yeah its obviously shopped, we did shop it and we know we'll get caught, but its legit honest."
Also, here is a picture of the sun and the moon in the same picture.
Just how bright are NASA saying earth is, when you need to brighten the moon so much and can still barely see it, but yet its possible with no photo shopping, to get the sun and moon in the same shot?
Conclusion: Its shopped. The reasons they give for shopping it are BS. Its shopped because earth doesn't look like that.
