    Well that’s what happens when you leave it out in the sun

      No I think it’s because it’s cold in space

        There was shrinkage!

        source
  • 667@lemmy.radio ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    This helps explain why days seem shorter as we age, the Earth is spinning faster due to the conservation of angular momentum. The days are literally shorter.

    source
    • sga@piefed.social ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      fun fact, days have actually been getting longer pretty much since formation of earth (well moon to be correct). reason iirc is that moon is slowly moving away from earth, and this results in some dynamics changing and as a result earth spins slower. like billions of years ago, it was closer to 23 hours.

      ps - very rusty memory right now, should have skipped writing instead of half borked fact

    By the way, speaking of changed colours of planets: if you haven’t been keeping up with the latest news in space imagery and want a real mindbender, check out what has recently happened to Neptune. You may have been thinking, ooooh, what an enthralling blue planet! - bzzzzzt, turns out it’s a pretty bland and boring gas giant, the colours were exaggerated on purpose because otherwise you can’t see shit.

      Most planets are like this I believe

      This truly is the worst timeline. Next, they’ll tell us Uranus isn’t gassy too.

      I like the pale blue representation, reminds me of blue jade or some old seaglass.

    Second picture looks smogier and more polluted

    source
    • PoopingCough@lemmy.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Will the second pic is also at night with a high iso and long exposure plus it’s digiral so there’s a lot more noise going on.

      • IMALlama@lemmy.world ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Speaking in generic terms, film is way more forgiving of over exposure and digital is way more forgiving of under exposure. A fast lens is always king, but once you hit parity on that I would personally take digital for low light any day.

    I like how you can see the ring/sphere of atmosphere in the new image.

      That’s the new smog layer.

        Does explain the search for the ring itself’ battle.

    • marcos@lemmy.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It’s because the Sun is behind it.

  • NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The magnetic poles must be moving substantially. Africa has rotated almost 90 degrees in a few short decades!

    source
    • captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      The blue Marble was also photographed “upside down.” We tend to rotate it because the shape of Africa is apparent and familiar. The new shot is taken further West and I think closer to the planet so not as much of its surface is visible.

  • bravesilvernest@lemmy.ml ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Also looks much more sickly (yes, its because they pumped up the brightness lol)

      Don’t they know about shrinkage?

      source
  • explodicle@sh.itjust.works ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    That’s because the internet made the world smaller.

    source
  • ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It’s because we’re looking at a different side of the planet in the second photo.

    source
    • dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yet but still if you superimpose the second image over the first you’ll see the whole planet had gotten smaller.

      source
      • ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        No, I get that. That’s only because we’re looking at a different side. It’s the same size on the other
