i will write something about each picture you have posted in the reverse way of your postings i hope i'll get it right :
Reply #42 -http://grin.hq.nasa.gov/IMAGES/LARGE/GPN-2000-001138.jpg--again,this is one of the "blue marble" images and is an old version(the newer ones look even more disturbing so please no more).if you look with an eye of a person who can appreciate proportions you will notice that the land mass is to big for all the continents to fit on this,a bit,to small globe,but first of all is to round compared to the scientific findings.about proportions ask a friend good at mathematics to help you.
Reply #41-http://grin.hq.nasa.gov/IMAGES/LARGE/GPN-2000-001489.jpg--in this one i can not comment on the authenticity of the sphere part but i recognize no stellar pattern,and trust me : i know my stars,even worse they seem to be placed at a random that just mimics parts of the night sky/space behind + all the scratches??.and again for the record..i will be even more convinced with a newer quality of picture though this one is closest in composition(distance)
Reply #39 a. your picture-http://grin.hq.nasa.gov/IMAGES/LARGE/GPN-2001-000009.jpg=moon craters and mountains+few stars+earth(notice the clouds and continent fragment,ok?) - space mission apollo 8
b. yet another picture of the same mission,apollo 8-http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/image/planetary/earth/apollo08_earthrise.jpg=different contrast(not a worry),same moon craters and mountains(exactly same position as in "a." frame)+a tiny bit higher earth from moon surface(denoting probably some time lapse) but same clouds same continent fragment+ and most important totally different stars though in comparison with the earth almost same place as in "a."
c. NOW apollo 11-
http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/imgcat/hires/a11_h_44_6552.gif=almost same(in fact so similar that i had to overlap in photoshop to test if my visual accuracy is still "on" and there it was an actual piece of "a." horizon is a part of the "c." except for the tiny mountain tip that is blunted in part for the later) mountainous moon horizon but larger the depth field+ a different earth(different mission/different time-naturally

) with dfferent clouds;but no freaking stars...hmm
Reply #48 i leave this one at last because is just simply not in category,though is a beautiful horizon of mother earth and a real picture.by the way here are some examples of what i call real pictures with sky objects with no super duper photo camera involved,so yes it is possible to have earth and stars in the same(probably

long time exposure)picture
