Here are the images:
GOES 8, known as GOES-I before becoming operational, was an American weather satellite, which formed part of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite system. It was launched in 1994, and operated until 2004 when it was retired and boosted to a graveyard orbit.[1][2] At launch, the satellite had a mass of 2,105 kilograms (4,640 lb), and an expected operational lifespan of three or five years.[3][4] It was built by Space Systems/Loral, based on the LS-1300 satellite bus, and was the first of five GOES-I series satellites to be launched.
The July 1992 image was captured by Servicio Aereo Fotometrico Ltda., an airmapping business in Santiago de Chile, the national capital.
So how does a satellite that wasn't even launched yet take pictures?

The people who took the photo probably understand how it was taken, so how come they don't tink it is the moon?
