I don't understand...

they say earth is the blue planet...even at a big distance it is blue...a blue dot.


Certaintly the surface you're standing on is either an asphalt jungle or green grass...nobody is standing on ...water.


So, do I need to explain...averages????


I mean, come on...what goes here?


If you take that link
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130301.html

and download the image:
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/1303/PIA16853mercury_900.jpg

open it up in photoshop
Duplicate layer
click Filter
click Blur
click...Average

and there is your Red.


Now, don't come here with all this 'reddish brown' talk...or rusty red, or greyish red...it's the Red family.


There isn't no getting around it.
