Before calling it fake, check Japan’s Himawari-8/9 satellite a real Earth-observing satellite that captures full-disk images of our planet every 10 minutes using official space-based imaging, not weather predictions.

This is actual satellite imagery from space… sometimes Earth just looks so unreal that people forget reality can be more stunning than CGI

Don't worry I tried to rotate it too and I'm not sleep deprived. But yeah it seems to be in a geostationary orbit so it always shows the same side of the Earth.

Can't believe they're not letting us move the satellite around, smh
