Full Moon in Tricolor
Taken with a SBIG STL-11000M camera on a 13-inch f/7.5 Classical Cassegrain using the tricolor RGB imaging technique
(with color saturation processing)
The above is said to be a photo taken of the moon. The methods utilized as of late by amateur astronomers have been to equalize the R G B channels. The general verdict appears that the moon's colors don't quite pop from the earth due to #1 the sky is blue; #2 atmospheric haze or the like. There is a growing number of astronomers who are alleging NASA and others to be doctoring pictures of the moon.

The above is allegedly a LANDSAT-3 image of the Cape Canaveral area.

The above is said to be a photo of earth from the European Space Agency's satellite known as MSG-3--note the color of the bodies of water.
1542
For comparison a NASA image of Earth from space.

NASA's own photo of Moon from Gallileo Orbiter (June 1998) (link here (http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpegMod/PIA00404_modest.jpg)).
P.S. Very deep bodies of water would tend to appear black or very dark blue maybe unless the sunlight hit it in just the right way.
