There is a movement that is trying to discredit NASA by falsely claiming that NASA is sending out pictures of Mars that are actually pictures of earth photoshopped...
Really? I didn't know that.
But this picture is so crude, you can even see the houses in the background, a few trees and they haven't managed to erase the 'green' colour ... The journalist or lay-outer who used this picture credited to NASA must have been blind. It was most to this obvious 'blindness' I was referring to, as I don't believe this photograph does really belong to NASA, and it is just an introducing picture at the top of the article.
As I routinely have a look at the incoming images of curiosity (200-400 every day!) Gale crater and Aeolis Mons (Mount Sharp) is so familiar to me, that it never would cross my mind that this fake image can deceive anyone.
My fault than.
I didn't find much information concerning newswatchtv. Is it widely known in the USA?
It's kind of sad that we have to know ownership of media nowadays to be able to contrast and verify a news. It's like that here, too.
