Hubble Finds Unidentified Object in Space, Scientists Puzzled

That argument is just for the sake of it, i don't need to write a report on the subject to convince you, sticking within the confines of my point its strange, anyway ill say monitoring earth changes like i said before, we know they do it already so theres really no argument, i just want to see some of the images, heck i would be happy with a higher resolution image in infrared

No it isn't. You continually refuse to come up with what purpose the images would have. no one is going to spend millions putting a satellite up that has no real purpose. The number of satellites with a full view of earth is probably quite small and their purpose pretty specific.

And while they may well use filters, they are more than likely going to be fixed as the satellite will have a specific purpose. Or they camera itself will be designed for that specific purpose rather than having the filters.

What would the purpose of the visible light camera? Give me a good reason for one and then you may have a point. Until then you don't.
 
I still want something specific, that being pictures of the whole earth in high resolution, preferably full colour but just seeing regularly updated images would be nice.

The idea that they would completely ignore the visible spectrum is just as absurd an idea, they use filters so its not like their cameras can't pickup visible as well as infrared.

They don't 'ignore' it, I never said they did. Depending on what they want to observe with the satellite the cameras will be calibrated to look in that exact wavelength only. There are plenty of cameras that will view part or all of the visible spectrum, but there's more to it then that if you want the image to appear as it would to a human eye which is what you were asking for.

So you're going back to the specific confines of what you originally wanted now after telling me off for sticking to them?

As we've been trying to explain to you this doesn't seem to be something they have. It's not that they're incapable of making it they just don't have it, presumably because this isn't something they feel they need or is worth the expense.

Whenever you do see high resolution images of the Earth and you find out how they were either taken by an astronaut with a camera, or that they've been painstakingly stitched together over many months. If they had a satellite in space viewing the whole Earth like you wanted do you really think they would waste all that time?
 
Look you can believe what you like about the if and whys about normal colour, its like you want to believe its all normal and ok not to.

Look they even have sattelites 31 million miles away that can view earth, oh one little issue red is not red but infrared, big surprise there but it shows they do pick up green and blue on most of their sats, probably normal red too but we rarely see it unless its ground mapping sats.

And again if you look at the title screen it's a composite image + it doesn't look high res to me!

NASA makes a point of making their images freely accessible in high res form which is pretty decent seeing as those images take an awful lot of time and money to put together. If they had something that was taking high res full colour images of the whole Earth why would they keep it a secret? It's nonsense, if they had it they'd put it up on their main page!

It just seems as though you're determined to try and construct some kind of fantasy conspiracy that doesn't exist.
