CGI Earth Or Actual Photograph?


So, I was watching an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise and toward the end, there's a shot looking down at a planet that is 99% identical to a photo allegedly shot from the ISS of our Earth. I have not taken the time to look up the date when the ISS pic was supposedly taken, but the Star Trek episode aired November 12, 2003.

Yeah this photo is from the International Space Station back in 2003. It was taken in July allegedly and then ended up on a Star Trek episode a few months later, LOL! It was probably originally created for the Star Trek episode and then NASA decided they wanted to release it as a real photo taken from the ISS. Without a doubt it looks CGI to me. Here's the links to it:
