Rotated with north (approximately) up, and annotated with constellation lines per H.A. Rey's book "The Star: A New Way To See Them," stars identified and prioritized by proper names, then Bayer letters, then Flamsteed numbers.

NASA abandoned film cameras decades ago. At least we still have the apollo film archives.

>why is it mostly limited to 1080p?
It's what Anons find and post.
Disappointing.
At least one camera is a Nikon D5, 5568 x 33712 pixels. I've heard they have a Z6 as well, but haven't seen any exif to prove that.

>jpeg compression artifacts
There is some slight compression compromising., but that's not the whole point. You're not going to find better imagery anywhere else.
But do tell.... crop out a section from
>>5209783
big enough to post here, and circle the egregious artifacting you see.
Go on... prove your point.

This is why they give us obscure views of the earth, or stick with Australia or Antartica landmasses only. They don't want us doing the real math. Especially with the advent of AI.

Except you're segrating North America and not africa. You must also add mexico, canada and alsaka....Africa is not as big as you portray it...And FYI, there is no China 2. You might as well be comparing England to the North American continent.
>>
>>5210437
You're comparing a continent to countries, try comparing Africa to the Asian continent North American Continent? Not so big now is it? We can do the same thing, lets compare Chad or Lybia to the North American Continent? Won't do that will ya?

>This looks as fake as the day is long.
>>5209369
Everything in that photo matches up with known physics.
The moon is eclipsing the sun from Artemis' point of view. The glow behind the moon is from the sun's outer corona. The dimly lit crescent on the left side of the moon is from sunlight reflecting off of the earth. Everything in this scene is still dark enough for the camera to pick up the stars in the background.
Is the image fake? I can't say with 100% certainty since I wasn't on Artemis II when this was supposedly taken. But it looks right, given the conditions. So you saying it looks fake doesn't mean much.

Transparent and Translucent moon. On a clear night, during a waxing or waning cycle, it is even possible to occasionally see stars and planets directly through the surface of the Moon! On March 7th, 1794, four astronomers (3 in Norwich, 1 in London) wrote in “The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Astronomical Society” that they “saw a star in the dark part of the moon, which had not then attained the first quadrature; and from the representations which are given the star must have appeared very far advanced upon the disc.” Sir James South of the Royal Observatory in Kensington wrote in a letter to the Times newspaper April 7, 1848, that, "On the 15th of March, 1848, when the moon was seven and a half days old, I never saw her unillumined disc so beautifully. On my first looking into the telescope a star of about the 7th magnitude was some minutes of a degree distant from the moon's dark limb. I saw that its occultation by the moon was inevitable … The star, instead of disappearing the moment the moon's edge came in contact with it, apparently glided on the moon's dark face, as if it had been seen through a transparent moon; or, as if a star were between me and the moon … I have seen a similar apparent projection several times … The cause of this phenomenon is involved in impenetrable mystery."

In the monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society for June 8, 1860, Thomas Gaunt stated that the "Occultation of Jupiter by the moon, on the 24th of May, 1860, was seen with an achromatic of 3.3 inches aperture, 50 inches focus; the immersion with a power of 50, and the emersion with a power of 70. At the immersion I could not see the dark limb of the moon until the planet appeared to touch it, and then only to the extent of the diameter of the planet; but what I was most struck with was the appearance on the moon as it passed over the planet. It appeared as though the planet was a dark object, and glided on to the moon instead of behind it; and the appearance continued until the planet was hid, when I suddenly lost the dark limb of the moon altogether.” I have personally also seen stars through the edge of the waxing/waning Moon. It actually happens fairly often; if you are diligent and specifically observing for the phenomenon on starry nights you can occasionally see it even with the naked eye.

A star occulting a crescent Moon has long been a popular symbol of Islam, was the symbol of the Ottoman Empire, it is found on the flags of Algeria, Azerbaijan, Libya, Malaysia, Mauritania, Pakistan, Singapore, Tunisia, Turkey, and in the Coat of Arms of countries from Croatia, to Germany, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. Its origins can be traced back thousands of years to ancient Hindu culture where it is found in the symbol for the word “Om,” the primary name for the almighty, representing the union of god Shiva and goddess Shakti. Why the symbol has carried such widespread historical significance is open to interpretation, but regardless of interpretation, the image of star(s) occulting the Moon has long been a prevalent and meaningful picture.

Individually converting highly detailed images to fit 4chan’s file size requirements, without looking terrible, is tedious. I am not converting enough images to populate an entire thread.
