I’ve just understood what you might mean. The zoom-in is not a zoom-in of the same image. The whole-moon was taken at a different time from a different angle and different distance.DRT wrote:Interesting to note that the picture above seems to be a zoomed-in view of a part of the planet that is not the part that the diagram suggests.
Conspiracy theories begin with such pictures.
Meanwhile, we have a juicy picture of Pluto’s plain.

In Northern Ireland we have elected ministers of state who still believe in Ussher's chronology, and think the dinosaurs a bad trick by some Victorians.

It's the Perseids meteor shower soon. Reaches its peak on August 14, I think.
Expect heavy rain, thick cloud and fog overnight on August 14-15.
