33. PurpleSmurf just think without the stars how much more difficult it would have been for our ancestors to navigate. Maybe, just maybe it's one of the reasons they were put there. But hey, I guess all those precise variables that make life possible on Earth was just an accident, right??

36. "12. Sorry, just ain't buying it without proof. I don't believe our sun looks like the perfect yellow orb that is shown in this pic."

their called filters.

37. "17. THE SHUTTLE WOULD HAVE BEEN BURNED TO A CRISP IF IT WAS THAT CLOSE TO THE SUN....THAT IS TOTALLY FAKE."

wow. if this is not a joke post, you are retarded. just how big do you think the sun is? im gonna go ahead and say you think the sun is about the same size up close as at a distance.

they wrote that the sun is 91 million miles away from the shuttle. now are you getting a perspective of just how big the sun really is?

38. "16. I'm pretty sure this isn't real... the perspective is off, the distance, curvature, and look of the sun, pretty much everything. It's a great image, though!"

how is the perspective off? you obviously dont even know what perspective means if you are saying that the perspective of the camera is off.

as for the distance. to calculate a distance, you need two points of reference. in this photo there is only one, the sun.

the curvature? you mean round? yes the sun is a sphere.

the look of the sun? so the filters that the camera is using arent giving you the true color of the sun. have you ever made a sepia photo? since the colors are not true in those pictures, does that mean the people in them dont exist?

do us all a favor and go stare at the sun for a while. at least until you burn up your corneas, so we dont have to read exactly how little you know about about anything ever again.

45. In simple terms here's how they do it. Point a telescope at the sun, using the internet and some math it's not hard to figure when something in orbit around the earth will pass in front of the sun from the vantage point of someone on the ground. Since objects in orbit are moving at 17,500 mph you only have fractions of second to get the picture. Take the picture and using filters, zooming, and cropping you can see quite a bit of detail.
