<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

People all have the same question…<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

NASA has launched humankind further than ever before into space with the launch of Artemis II.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The 10-day mission will send four astronauts around the Moon in the Orion spacecraft to test life-support systems, navigation, and deep-space maneuverability before future lunar landings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The four astronauts on humanity’s furthest ever journey into space are NASA’s Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The crew have sent some images back from their history-making trip, but one photo has lots of people down on Earth all saying the same thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Wiseman, who is Commander of Artemis II, took a dazzling image of our planet, and released it via NASA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The image, titled ‘Hello, World’, was taken from the window of the spacecraft after they completed the translunar injection burn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

“There are two\u00a0auroras\u00a0(top right and bottom left) and zodiacal light (bottom right) is visible as the Earth eclipses the Sun,” NASA said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

However, the space agency made the mistake of comparing the new image with a picture from Apollo 17’s mission in 1972, and the internet has a lot to say about it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

“We\u2019ve come so far in the last 54 years, but one thing hasn\u2019t changed: Our home looks gorgeous from space! The left view is from the Apollo 17 crew in 1972 and the right was captured yesterday by the Artemis II crew,” NASA wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

People have responded to the tweet by pointing out how dull the 2026 image looks compared to the one from 1972.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

“The old Earth image looks sharper while this new image looks dull,” one person wrote. “Camera quality or climate change?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Another penned: “Why does the one from 72 looks better?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

“What are we doing so wrong . The earth looks pale. We are losing it,” a third put.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

However, other users on social media offered an explanation for the stark difference in colourings on the images.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

“What you’re looking at is actually the night side of earth, opposite the sun. It looks grainy because the image is hyper exposed for visibility,” one user explained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Another offered: “The side of the Earth photographed in 2026 appears to be in nighttime. Hence the arc of brightness at the bottom right.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

While a third added an explanation about the difference in cameras: “”Earth didn\u2019t change – how we capture it did. The colour difference between the 1972 \u201cBlue Marble\u201d and modern Earth images comes down to technology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

“Apollo 17 used film cameras, which naturally boosted colour and contrast. Today, digital sensors, atmospheric correction, and colour calibration are used.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

“Most modern images are also composites, not single shots. That\u2019s why today\u2019s Earth can look less ‘vivid’.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
