"It is photoshop, but it has to be." - Robert Simmon, NASA's creator of the "Blue Marble" computer-generated Earth image, which to this day is used as the bonafide "Planet Earth" visualization across all science textbooks, movies/documentaries, TV shows, magazines, computer/phone wallpapers, Wikipedia, NASA's own website, etc. etc.... Did you know that there isn't a single raw photograph of planet Earth in existence? This seems crazy to me, because if you pull up NASA's Instagram page, they give us all sorts of dazzling pictures of stars & planets that are billions and trillions of miles away...but they have NEVER given us a single unedited picture of our own Earth? 🤔 Why is that?
