As you may already know the tampering of imagery from space is beyond what we anticipated. So I think these microscopic images in fact are macroscopic landscapes.
When you inverted it it does not fit into my conception of what microscopic should look like
I was playing around with colour again today and I was using this picture...I was wondering to myself what those 'flakes' of something are on the surface of a lot of the MI images. Then I wonderd what an inverted picture would look like. (see below and judge for yourself which one looks more natural.) Personally, I think it is the second photograph which is an inverted NASA photograph with no 'flakes' in it. Of course, both are not the correct colour. This is just one picture I was messing about with.
So.. first the 'correct' way around according to NASA.
Then the one I have inverted which I think looks more natural and likely to be the true on-the-ground version. See what you think. No 'flakes' anywhere to be seen.
