What a joke for people to eat up whatever NASA labels as truth, and if you say i'm the one who's deluded, you just haven't looked hard enough or are too conformed to your force fed beliefs since birth to wonder why people think it's all a load of crap.

The Earth from a distance, The ISS, Moon Landings, it's all a visage on a grand scale.

I'm saying that the OP photo is a damn composite.
Yeah, there is no ISS.
Nobody ever landed on the moon.
This perpetual indoctrination is so easy to see through if you're willing to change your perspective.

So, it is a perfect sphere, pear shaped, or an oblate spheroid? Make up your mind NASA. Because that picture right there? Is a perfect sphere. I do not want to hear any ridiculous theories on light bending and light refraction perspective law. Right now, that picture is a perfect sphere.
So which is it?
image.gsfc.nasa.gov...
Exactly how round is the Earth?
The shape of the Geode, as it is called, is nearly a perfect sphere, but because the earth is spinning, it is about 21.5 kilometers flatter at the poles, and bulged-out at the equator by about the same amount. There are also other 'higher-order' shape deviations which make the Earth slightly pear- shaped with a larger southern hemisphere surface area than in the northern hemisphere, but at a level of a kilometer or so in radial girth. The biggest effect, though, is its polar flattening. If you had a basketball to represent the Earth's spherical average shape, the flattening would be 21/6500 = about 1/300 the radius of the basketball or 1/32 of an inch...give or take.

On October 25 and 26 two tropical low pressure areas are spinning in the Northern Indian Ocean, and one in the Southern Indian Ocean. The Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera or EPIC instrument that flies aboard NOAA's DSCOVR or Deep Space Climate Observatory satellite captured an image showing all three low pressure areas on October 25 at 05:37 UTC (12:37 a.m. EDT).

Is that so?
"Earth is not only oblate — wider at the equator than pole-to-pole, but pear shaped — slightly wider just south of the equator" - Neil deGrasse Tyson (September 19, 2014 - 9:01 AM EST on twitter - a verified account, not parody).
Feel free to google it. You have seen a pear before right? Alright. They are nothing alike.
