Gday...

This has to be one of the best pictures I've seen in a long time. Our beautiful World through the lens of the Hubble telescope.

It's pretty obvious it's a fake the clouds are to thick, hey Rocky and no longer in the Earths atmosphere.

Have to agree. The atmosphere sits over the planet about as thick as the peel on an apple. Its a spectular photo but it cant be real. Sorry. The clouds dont go that high. Usually 18 kilometers is the upper limit in the tropics where there is greater uplift. Maybe they have stretched the photo to pull them away from the planet??? Happy to be found to be wrong but dont think so???

Thanks John. Just had a look. Some clever photoshoping. Or whatever they call it.
Cheers Phil
