No it's not.

It's not filled in 😒

I hope this didn't awaken anything in me

Didn't say it wasn't real, just that it was a composite, at least the modern one that I cite.

Hmm, the OP image could refer to either. Or did they specify?

Sure, but the post is saying subsequent to the Blue Marble, not all photos ever taken. It's reasonable to say that every NASA photo after 2012 has been digitally processed and isn't strictly a single photo. Composites are common, and you're dealing with noisy space stuff here, it makes sense.

Isn't it plainly true that The Blue Marble is a composite? Source: NASA

Wtf, why only mention one, not the other person they were with the entire time? Odd article.

That's such a cool design!!

Ah, I see! Thank you very much for expanding. Clears up the picture nicely.

I don't want to engage that other guy, as it reeks of bad faith, but could you share your thoughts about the supposed underlying agenda? In PM if this is too inflammatory. Kinda curious why this sort of narrative exists.
