Anyone find the full res version of this ? Nasa images page is useless. Government work.

Come on flat-earthers. I know you are out there. Lets hear your crazy rant about how this is a fisheye lens on a weather balloon or a webcam atop the eiffel tower. Why can't we see the poles? And is that an ice wall on poking up in the lower-right quadrant of the disk?

Don’t you see the reflection of the studio lighting in the middle?

Flat Earth is a distraction or a way to ridicule any counter-narrative to anything scientific.

When a cosmologist says that a planet nobody can see exists and is made of x% helium and is y light years away etc etc with absolute certainty despite nobody being able to go there and witness any of it (look how wrong they were about Pluto’s appearance), then you can always just say “what are you a Flat Earther” and easily discredit any doubt I have in these extraordinary claims with underwhelming evidence.

Any idea you want the public to oppose, you can create and market an adjacent thing, like Trump. You can throw all the ideas you want to oppose in the Trump bucket and if anyone supports it it’s probably because they’re a Trump supporter right?

See you’re very very easily programmed, like clockwork.

That version is ~~brightened significantly~~ (edit) a longer exposure; I like the darker one better.
