So ... according to your photo (which doesn't even show the American continents) ... there should be no way east from Africa without coming to the Earth's "edge".
But, of course, we know the travel across the Atlantic Ocean (east of Africa) has been accomplished for centuries ...

Easily found by a quick web search is that the 2012 image was taken by the Suomi NPP satellite which has a low earth orbit.
The Suomi NPP has a 55deg field of view of the earth (my calculations, so please check). This is too close to see the full globe, as is apparent.
The 2015 image looks to have been taken from a far greater distance, and so can see much more of the earth. As should be expected, a land mass on the 2012 (north and central Americas) will appear larger than on the image of the full earth.
Being charitable, whoever made this comparison does not understand 3D geometry. Others may conclude that they were being deliberately deceptive.
Not the Suomi NPP satellite. You sure know your stuff. Is this the one?
Must get hot after a while.
Too close. How's that? The whole stupid ball is visible, apparently.
Ah, so the ball stays the same but the continents change size depending on distance to the observer. And this effect is called...?
Alright, so it gets worse:
I may try this with the moon and a zoom camera and see what i get. Wonder if i can change the sizes of areas on the moon.
Zooming in and getting closer are not the same, and what can be seen will be different.I may try this with the moon and a zoom camera and see what i get. Wonder if i can change the sizes of areas on the moon.
Blue Marble, 2012Not the Suomi NPP satellite. You sure know your stuff. Is this the one?
It's called 'the horizon'.Too close. How's that? The whole stupid ball is visible, apparently.

That reminds me of Rob Skiba talking about the word deception that literally it is linked to the word for planets and how the Lord Jesus used the same word.That is true, but a floating water ball is not.
I will hand to these deceivers, they sure can create a convincing deception but again they are simply following satans lead.

Original Word: πλανάω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: planaó
Phonetic Spelling: (plan-ah'-o)

The same word is linked to the only verse in the bible that uses the word “planets” though all translators were afraid to use the actual word.
13 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever. [Jde 1:13 NIV]

Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine
Transliteration: planétés
Phonetic Spelling: (plan-ay'-tace)

Of course, 1 Enoch 18:14-16, 21:3 makes this even more clear. Many are still ignorant that the word angels is used interchangeably with the word stars in many biblical passages as in Job 38:7 and Rev 1:20. So a literal interpretation could be the deceived angels whom we call planets.
Jude 6 And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day, [Jde 1:6 NASB]
They wandered, they deceived, they abandoned.
They planet-ed!
(Man, I'm growing to love etymology)

Because the stars (that people call planets saturn, jupiter, etc..) do not wander. They show up each night on schedule, i know saturn will be basically in the same place in the sky as it was the night before, etc..
There is no way to even get from The Bible that the sun God created just another star. The sun and moon are plainly stated to be created great lights, that are greater than the stars in their lighting capabilities. Actually the sun is the greater light that lights the day, with the moon and stars as lesser light working together to give light at night.
They've been deceiving and teaching their abandoning ways for ages. I put this chart together some time ago. How the nations worship(ed) them as gods.That's right, it's the sense of 'to lead astray'.
Another popular one is the Hebrew 'nasa' or 'nasha', translated 'to deceive/ beguile', as in 'the serpent hath nasa'd me', or 'had a lend of me'. Employed, it seems, much like 'planao' in the Greek.

Nice try... both are presented as a picture of the "globe" in it's entirety and.... circular in shape and .... the continents are different sizes in percentage of the surface.Being charitable, whoever made this comparison does not understand 3D geometry. Others may conclude that they were being deliberately deceptive.
If these pictures are not foolish enough, I'll tell you what is. They say "Armstrong and Aldrin spent 21 hours, 36 minutes on the lunar surface." Wow, I mean, wow! No, not that they spent that much time there, but that they could not take 1 photo or video of the earth in that time, yet have hours of "lunar" footage. (That's like going to Yosemite and not taking a picture of Halfdome!) How could they miss it!? Unless of course...Certainly looks like it took a picture of the whole globe? Or, did they crop it to make it look like a globe instead of showing the entire image?
With all due respect, your argument doesn't make sense to me.
Again... taken from far away or up close, if you're going to print a pic as "the globe" then you are being disingenuous if you crop it into the shape of a circle and leave parts out.
