Are these real? They look too amazing.

EDIT:

Originals were eventually (shortly after) found on NASA's site, here are some:

No idea.

They're pretty well faked if they aren't real. Those pictures are INCREDIBLE.

I don't see any stars whenever empty space is shown. Even if there was a lot of light interference, you'd still be able to see some right?

Awesome.:thumbsup:

 

[JulesMaximus]

What makes you think they are fake?

 

[Beev]

Well, in that second pic, the landscape looks WAY too close for how far away they are...

No, the light from the Earth would drown out the stars in a photograph. The picture is exposed for the brightly lit Earth background so this is perfectly normal.

i dont see any reason to think they are faked.

Shading looks strange in some photos.

 

[Mr Incognito]

Those are very real.

So how was your last space walk?

 

[James Bond]

Truly amazing if real. I'm actually surprised we don't see more pictures like that.

They look like pictures of model miniatures cropped on top of real background photos.

Have you ever seen real pictures from the International Space Station? They appear to be the proper perspective to me.

I wasn't aware I had to walk in space to see pictures of earth.

Edit: Look at the one second from the bottom. I don't need to say anything else.

Space station orbit is only like 210 miles above surface!

 

[Epic Fail]

fake, they are part of the Canadian government conspiracy.

Think about it. The stars can be seen at night here because there is so much less light. Up there there is a ton of light if you are on the light side of the earth. The stars aren't going to show up because if they did, the rest of the photo would be completely overexposed to the point of being white. The light overpowers the stars up there because our star is so close and so bright. You can probably see them with the naked eye, but a picture probably wouldn't turn out with them in it.

I'm sure they aren't taken with any standard camera either.

Well since you apparently are an expert of how the earth looks from space....

Are you stupid? Pictures of the planet from space are readily available everywhere. And read my edit.

Your edit makes no sense.

And how are those space pictures any different than these? You're questioning these, but you don't question the others at all? That's smart.
