That's way too many pixels to be a fake.

I know what pixels look like, and I'm calling this one real.

Great image. You can make out the Grand Canyon and about the only man made thing I can make out is Lake Mead.

Of course it's real, it's just not a single "photo". I'm using it as my wall too (fill/cropped).

The portrait above was compiled from images taken on multiple passes of the planet Jan. 4


It was probably mapped onto a sphere.
