☆ Fact Check: The moon is not a reflection of Earth
  + stars: | 2023-11-30 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The moon is not a reflection of Earth, despite a viral TikTok clip circulating online. A clip (archived) circulating online opens with a visual of the moon and text printed across the upper-third that reads, “This Proves My Video ‘Moon is a Reflection of Earth.’”A voice over can then be heard claiming that the moon is a “translucent plasma luminary” which is why you can see the moon during the day. The individual moves the light source and with it, the two light points move, opposite each other, around the resin. The video does not prove that the sun and moon are reflections of another light source, or that the moon is a reflection of Earth. The moon is not a reflection of Earth.

☆ Fact Check-First ever photos showing spherical Earth from space were not taken on April Fool’s Day
  + stars: | 2023-03-23 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The first images showing the curvature of Earth from space were not captured on April Fool’s Day in 1960. However, pictures showing Earth’s curvature have been taken from space or near-space orbit since Oct. 24, 1946. There are earlier images taken from other objects in space or near-space orbit that also show the planet’s curvature. Rocket-borne cameras captured the first photos of Earth from roughly 65 miles above the surface on Oct. 24, 1946 (here). Photos from space or near-space orbit show Earth’s curvature years before April 1, 1960.
