By the way, speaking of changed colours of planets: if you haven’t been keeping up with the latest news in space imagery and want a real mindbender, check out what has recently happened to Neptune. You may have been thinking, ooooh, what an enthralling blue planet! - bzzzzzt, turns out it’s a pretty bland and boring gas giant, the colours were exaggerated on purpose because otherwise you can’t see shit.
Its all the fracking
Second picture looks smogier and more polluted
Well the second pic is also at night with a high iso and long exposure plus it’s digital so there’s a lot more noise going on.
Speaking in generic terms, film is way more forgiving of over exposure and digital is way more forgiving of under exposure. A fast lens is always king, but once you hit parity on that I would personally take digital for low light any day.
Copy that, my knowledge of the specifics of digital vs analog is about exhausted just from what i posted so i appreciate the added information!
The magnetic poles must be moving substantially. Africa has rotated almost 90 degrees in a few short decades!
The blue Marble was also photographed “upside down.” We tend to rotate it because the shape of Africa is apparent and familiar. The new shot is taken further West and I think closer to the planet so not as much of its surface is visible.
Android post processing vs Apple post processing
Went back and looked, actually laughed out loud
I like how you can see the ring/sphere of atmosphere in the new image.
That’s the new smog layer.
*smug
To be fair there was a big hole in the ozone in 1970
Does explain the search for the ring itself’s battle.
It’s because the Sun is behind it.
Jerryyyy, Earth is a planet!
Well that’s what happens when you leave it out in the sun
No I think it’s because it’s cold in space
There was shrinkage!
The maps were correct, New Zealand doesn’t exist.
That’s because the internet made the world smaller.
Good to know it’s still a flat disc
Amazing how the countries side over it?
And gravity!!
No wonder it feels more crowded
This helps explain why days seem shorter as we age, the Earth is spinning faster due to the conservation of angular momentum. The days are literally shorter.
fun fact, days have actually been getting longer pretty much since formation of earth (well moon to be correct). reason iirc is that moon is slowly moving away from earth, and this results in some dynamics changing and as a result earth spins slower. like billions of years ago, it was closer to 23 hours.
ps - very rusty memory right now, should have skipped writing instead of half borked fact
Shhh! Don’t let Big Clock know that we are on to them.
It’s getting old, I guess /s
Where did Africa go?? 😧
