Something doesn’t add up with these two Artemis II images NASA released.
Image 1 is dated April 2, 2026 and credited to astronaut Reid Wiseman.
Image 2 is dated April 3, 2026 and suddenly lists “Producer: JSC” with no mention of Wiseman at all.
A few questions:
- Why are the cloud formations basically identical if these were taken a day apart?
- Earth’s weather systems move constantly — shouldn’t there be noticeable differences?
- Why does one image credit an astronaut directly, while the other switches to a generic “producer”?
- If both were taken from the same mission window, why inconsistent attribution?
Anyone with a solid explanation?

Looking for informed explanations on why these two NASA images, reportedly taken a day apart, show nearly identical cloud patterns and inconsistent credits. Curious if this is due to imaging timing, processing methods, or something else I’m missing. Both available on NASA website [https://www.nasa.gov/gallery/journey-to-the-moon/](https://www.nasa.gov/gallery/journey-to-the-moon/)
they just turned off the sun for the second picture
no. the top photo was brightened. the bottom is the original
Both the same day….read down in the second one and although dated as being released on the 3rd it was taken on the 2nd by the same guy. I guess they’ll claim just different exposure to accent the back lighting of the same picture. But I don’t trust or believe anything that comes from nasa either.
Glad to see that people are calling NASA out on their BS. Blatantly lying to the world about what reality is and pushing their own made up narratives.
I love how everyone in here is a space expert
I’ve seen people talking that the first photo on the top is the dark side of the moon as well. ([like this YT video here](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yzWpNmDz0pY?feature=share)) which could suggest they are the same and the second picture is a derivative of the first. I think the bit of information that tells us this is true is the halo around the Earth, where the sun is casting light around the edges of the Earth.
I’m not a space guy, though. That’s just something I noticed, that the space people are calling the top photo the dark side photo. I wouldn’t know enough on the topic to discuss it with any accuracy.
This shit is a simulation bro
If you look closely, the clouds are not the same
It’s all fake
They were taken minutes apart. The top photo was a longer exposure, which is why its brighter.
Yeah, cause Artemis ain’t going to the moon, they’re going to stop the big comet headed our way that’s been preluded by all the recent fireballs. Duh.
It’s the same exact photo with different brightness settings
