kaya nga stitching lang ng images ang paraan para mabuo ang isang picture.
See this statement "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. "
Again, its not the stitching that I am concerned with. It is the fabrication to make the picture conforms to the expectation of the people. Its the tampering I am concern with. Who knows what else has been changed. Regardless, it is no longer the truth as integrity is compromised. It means the original picture does match the texbooks taught to us in school, and even in universities or science websites.
I understand the limitation of satellites cam orbiting at inner space (low earth orbit). How about those in outer space? Check their videos and pictures, and there are anomalies as well. For other posts here that is related, lets analyze them in Science thread.

But probably the main reason why I am highlighting this now (as this is a religious thread) is because we need this kind of critical thinking when trying to understand the bible. Every Word must be considered to understand the full truth otherwise we can be deceived.
Be like the Bereans in Acts 17:10-11 "10 Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so."
For example. Someone will say the bible said "Spare the rod, spoil the child". Sounds good but can you even find the exact verse in the bible? No, actually its a modern proverb made up to sound like it is biblical.
The closest verse is in Proverbs 13:24 "He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly. " which give a totally different view (just like the BLUE MARBLE).
