Image talk:Top of Atmosphere.jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

this photo is of the earths atmosphere and the moon. if you take a closer look at the lower portion of the moon ( i mean zoom in ) you will see a small white thing with a line underneath of it. it seems to be somethings taking off into space or beaming down. while zoomed in you will notice the white thing has different pixels then the rest of the photo this suggests whatever the photo did show might have been to much for us by nasa's standards.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.174.196.222 (talk • contribs) 15:05, 17 July 2007

The fuzziness around the bright pixel is a JPEG artifact. Besides, even if NASA were trying to hide something they could do a much better job than that. --Safalra 20:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I believe that it is possible that the small white pixel was distorted by the jpeg. i am still yet to see anything like it on the rest of the jpeg. try zooming in and out of the white dot. It will actually show a rectangular area that could have easily been edited by photoshop (which i am certified in)

It looks to me like a CCD artefact, perhaps a stuck pixel. That would explain the faint trail below it - in astronomy this would be referred to as a hot column. Modest Genius ^talk 19:20, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
