This meme poports to compare Nasa at 100,000 feet to an Amateur weather balloon at 100,000 feet

Claim vs Reality



We have identified the true source of the images. Both claims are lies.

The top image is not from NASA. Rather it is from a video titled "Edge Of Space Commercial Balloon Flights Closer With Record-Breaking Test | Video" @VideoFromSpace

And the bottom image is not from an Amateur weather balloon. Rather it is from a commercial 360 degree photo company called airpano. The image is a thumb nail image on the airpano website at https://www.airpano.ru/files/stratosphere_caucas_01_big.jpg and is what the raw 360 panoramic photo looks like when not viewed through the correct software.
