Speaking of things NASA tells us from birth and we just believe, how about that big yellow ball in the sky? 🌞

The first picture is a CGI photo NASA made, and they say is 93 million miles away.

The second is a real photo that anyone can replicate with a Nikon P1000 and proper filters.

Which one do you believe tells the more accurate story of the detail/distance of the sun?

"Then we wrapped the flat map around a ball. My part was integrating the surface, clouds, and oceans to match people's expectations of how Earth looks from space. That ball became the famous Blue Marble.

I was happy with it but had no idea how widespread it would become. We never thought it would become an icon. I certainly never thought that I would become 'Mr. Blue Marble.'"

Did you know that every picture NASA has given us of Earth—which continue to be used in movies, History Channel, school textbooks, etc.— is 100% CGI?

That's kinda weird, huh?
