I might even be the most sympathetic glober on the forum ^^

No, you don't get to pick both. The vast majority of those photos of Earth are taken by low Earth orbit satellites, so of course they have to be put together as composites. That in NO WAY means that they are trying to show you 50% of the planet in each composite, which is the logical assumption you're making. There is no reason to presume the pictures will have the same breadth as the others.

I showed you a link to pictures of Earth taken from high orbit, and your dodge manifested itself in "what about the colors?" But you failed to note that the photos were taken in multiple different spectra, including infrared, which was why the Earth's vegetation appeared red in one of the photos. You claim no photos of Earth exist that aren't composite, but in fact, I showed you several.

I think you need to reread this thread and point out specific examples and i think you find that i never begin personally insulting without being insulted first.

IF you cant find an example - I will gladly apologize to that person - if you cant then they clearly need to offer an apology.

Yeah Nasa has even admitted that those globes are composites from 100s of high altitude Ariel photographs and then stitched together with the presumption the world is round.
I not about to spoon feed you but feel free to educate yourself, that's what the internet is actually for instead of just confirming your bias. Remember that time you post some outrage from some web article and it turned out was just a trolling comedy site - omfg that was so hilarious.

Yep, that post could have been seen as a personal attack. Sort of a mis-formulated concern, sorry for that.

So what you're saying is, you don't understand the importance of the distinction between how much of the globe they stitch together for an individual photo of a globular Earth and therefore will continue to think your picture of pictures of Earth means something. It also means you don't understand why the Earth's vegetation would appear red in the infrared spectrum.

That post of mine where i ranted a little bit wasn't really about you, so im glad you didn't take it personally, I had other people in mind who shall remain nameless, so shhhhh, dont tell anyone ok?

So what your saying is that you dont understand why you are not free to rage if people dont accept the composite and assumptions as a complete photo of reality?

Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.
