schema:text	Multiple Facebook and Twitter posts have shared an image that they claim shows an actual photograph of the Himalayas shot from the International Space Station. But the claim is false: the image is not an actual photograph and was in fact created using digital effects software. The image was posted June 3, 2021 by an India-based user here in a public Facebook group called 'Mysterious Facts'. Also Read: Viral Video Of Dramatic Car Chase Has Been Digitally Created The misleading post's caption says: "The Himalayas from the International Space Station". Screenshot of the misleading post taken on June 4, 2021. The same image and claim have been widely shared online, for example on Facebook here, here and here; on Twitter here and here in English, and here in Spanish; and on 9GAG here since 2020. But the claim is false. The image is actually computer-generated and was created by graphic designer Christoph Hormann using digital effects technology. A Google reverse image search found the same image on Hormann's website where prints of his work are available for purchase. Hormann's website states he produces "illustrations of geographic contexts in the best possible quality". The misleading posts have rotated the original image created by Hormann 90 degrees clockwise and cropped out the credits. Also Read: Digital Art Falsely Shared As Statue Of Liberty Made From Rubble In Syria Screenshots comparing the original image and the image in the misleading post. Taken June 4, 2021. Further keyword searches found the image was also shared here with the correct caption by Science Photo Library, a stock photography website. Its caption reads in part: "This image was created by Christoph Hormann using data obtained from satellites such as Landsat and SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission). "The data was processed into computer models using three-dimensional rendering software and then coloured and distorted to mimic the natural curvature of the Earth."

(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by BOOM staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)
