Isn't it plainly true that The Blue Marble is a composite? Source: NASA

[–] GrosPapatouf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No. The source you gave is for "A Blue Marble" image. The original blue marble image usually refers to a photograph of the Earth taken by the Apollo 17 crew in 1972, with a regular camera.

Hmm, the OP image could refer to either. Or did they specify?
