Flipped it, you can more easily make out Northern Africa and Spain.

That's us! 🌍 The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."

@r3a9an_k_ @neel_kolhe Two different AI systems used. I saw 2 others also detect them as fake. Cope

@instanceGWD @neel_kolhe Grok is notoriously bad at this, that is not remotely solid evidence of anything

Aurora being visible on both poles in a single shot here also is a nice demonstration of the magnetic poles of the earth being off axis from the rotational "true" north-south axis.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

@instanceGWD @AJamesMcCarthy @ChalussetG Nope, still just a real photo. All the exif data is available. Your detector is wrong.

At first glance this looks like a daytime photo- but it’s not.
I don’t think we’ve ever seen Earth at night photographed quite like this. Historic.

Everyone say CHEESE. 📸 The newest family selfie just dropped.

Our pale blue dot. The only planet we know of that’s rare and unique enough to house the most remarkable phenomenon in the universe: life. And we’re all too busy destroying our planet, destroying life and letting a handful of people control the global resources while we sit on our phones and doom scroll. Pretty sad when you think about it.

When you see the atmosphere outlined like that, it really is a good reminder of how incredible it is that we exist.

Beautiful new whole-Earth photo.
I love to zoom in and see the changing fine details, like the green glow of the aurora near the poles.
A beauty of extreme exploration is that we better discover and understand our home.

This photo of Earth is EXTRA spectacular for a good reason... let me explain. Most images you see of Earth from space are the daylight side of the Earth, and it's obviously very bright (see my last image), this means stars are too dim to be seen with that bright exposure setting (low ISO, high shutter and / or stopped down aperture).
BUT this image taken by the Orion crew looks so incredible because you can see the sun is BEHIND the earth, meaning it's night time on the side of the earth facing the crew in this image.
So how do you expose a night time earth from space? Same way you do on Earth! A mixture of opening up the aperture (F4 in this case), cranking the ISO (51,200 here), and using a relatively long exposure (1/4 of a second). We can see the settings used by looking at the exif data from the camera. What this means is our camera is also sensitive enough to see stars in the background of Earth, leading to an extraordinary image!!! GREAT WORK!!! These are the kind of images I've been so excited to see!

I'm honestly SHOCKED at how the general public still has NO IDEA Artemis II is, right this minute, taking humans to the moon and will be the furthest humans have ever flown. Every non-space nerd I've talked to has no idea. WE MUST GET PEOPLE STOKED!!!!
THESE FOUR HUMANS ARE FLYING TO THE MOON!!!

@instanceGWD @r3a9an_k_ Moonlight, slightly long exposure & clearly a high ISO looking at the grain.
