Debunking claims that Earth's size from the moon in Nasa images is wrong such as the following :
The picture above is not taking into account the distance of the camera on board the satellite.
This is the result of my 3D simulation, which is to scale.
Note: Because of losing resolution the shot was taken 3/4 distance to the camera on board the DSCOVR satellite. But the result will only get closer to Nasa's image.
So now this is how Earth looks from the moon in the same simulation:
The results shows that both pictures from nasa are to scale as expected and it's not a valid argument to bring up.

We all know what the moon looks like to the human eye on earth. Of course the earth would look about 3.7 times bigger to the human eye on the moon, since the earth is about 3.7 times bigger than the moon.

What the moon and earth looks like through different lenses is irrelevant. We all know what the moon looks like to the human eye on earth. Of course the earth would look about 3.7 times bigger to the human eye on the moon, since the earth is about 3.7 times bigger than the moon. Don't remember any Apollo astronaut saying anything about that.
