I'll find it and scan it. http://www.darksky.org/images/satelite/usa_1996-97.gif That's not a picture. http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories...ghts1994-1995b .j pg Neither is that. How are they NOT pictures???? They're not photographs - they're generated outputs of some sort of undefined measurement. Without at a minimum knowing precisely what was being measured, they're no more "pictures" than are Rorschach inkblots. Just curious - would you consider an MRI a "picture"? How about an X-Ray? Or an oscilloscope display? Most normal people wouldn't, even knowing what it is those devices measure and what their outputs represent. Is this a picture? http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth...almeesters.jpg |
