We found the “rectangular box” effect only occurred when we manipulated the low quality photos, strongly suggesting the box around the Earth is simply pixelation. To test this we altered low and high quality versions of the same photo using the same instructions in the Instagram video. The rectangle around the Earth in the image is almost certainly the result of data being lost in low quality images and leading to pixelation (when a photo lacks the information to create smooth curves around objects within it, creating a blurry or boxy appearance around edges). In the Instagram video, Mr Murphy says when you “drop the saturation” and “the levels” in the photo you can see a rectangular box around the image of the Earth, proving it “has been pasted in”. The first photo shown is from the 1972 Apollo 17 lunar mission of astronaut Harrrison “Jack” Schmitt with a view of the Earth in the moon’s sky. No evidence the Earth was pasted into a photo of the Apollo 17 lunar mission These include an image from the Apollo 17 space mission, a composite image of the Earth produced in 2002 and a video of the Earth rotating. The video, taken from a much longer interview with conspiracy theorist Dave Murphy, presents four images produced by NASA which he claims are proof that photos and film taken by the space programme are either made-up or manipulated. A video on Instagram suggests that a number of images of the Earth from space have been altered or “faked” by NASA.
