So nasa recently posted this photo and the below caption on the official nasa instagram. I can only imagine all the people wetting their pants at its beauty. The problem is…as always, it’s a composite. And nasa says so plain as day in the below caption:
“Shining, shimmering, splendid ✨
This *image* of Earth at night provides a clear view of the patterns of human settlements across our planet.
Satellite *images* of Earth at night – often referred to as “night lights” – provide a broad beautiful *picture* showing how humans shaped the planet and lit up the darkness.
The *image* shows Earth’s night lights as observed in 2016; it is *drawn* from a *compositing technique* that selected the best cloud-free nights in each month over each land mass in 2016. (*Note that clouds and sunlight are added for aesthetic effect.*)”
So… just to reiterate: nasa posts composite images created on a computer, posts them to the ‘gram, captions it with some Disney bullshit, explains the process of creating the *image* and the people fall on their knees in gratitude for their services? And we’re supposedly the crazy ones?
