Do you want polite or do you want sincere?


Awesome is right.

Did you notice how they'd turned off or rather having excluded any
color saturation of the moon itself, as allowing only those pixels of
Earth being in full color. There's actually a perfectly good reason
for doing that.

If you have a photo processing bit of software, I can tell you what to
look for that's so interesting as to their mission and of its HDTV
imaging, as having to deal with all of that pesky UV, near UV and
violet spectrum of raw solar energy.
