Before calling it fake, check Japan’s Himawari-8/9 satellite a real Earth-observing satellite that captures full-disk images of our planet every 10 minutes using official space-based imaging, not weather predictions.
This is actual satellite imagery from space… sometimes Earth just looks so unreal that people forget reality can be more stunning than CGI

How did the satellite take this picture? We should send another satellite to take a picture of how the first satellite took this picture to confirm the validity of the image.
Edit: my dumb sleep deprived ass tried to rotate the earth on that satellite website 🤦♂️
I read this comment and the comments below it, chuckled, then opened the link, marveled at the marble, and then tried to turn it.
I’m going to sleep now, good night.
Don’t worry I tried to rotate it too and I’m not sleep deprived. But yeah it seems to be in a geostationary orbit so it always shows the same side of the Earth.
Can’t believe they’re not letting us move the satellite around, smh
I’ll contact their webmaster and file a bug report
for real shaking your head too
