A lot of people mistaking this for a picture taken by the Artemis II mission in April 2026.

(Or worse, claiming that it’s fake because the angle is wrong.)

This picture was actually taken by the DSCOVR (Deep Space Climate Observatory) satellite in July 2015.

The DISCOVR EPIC camera is so bitchin & we kinda take it for granted now.

It looks fake because I would expect the earth to appear much smaller at this distance. It’s real?

DSCOVR used what is essentially an extreme zoom lens, the kind where distant objects don’t shrink as much the farther they are.

“That’s no moon” (Star Wars) is the only thing ringing in my brain at this image
