The matter of "real images of Earth from space has long been an area of contention between skeptics and believers of the heliocentric model.
The Himawari Satellite photos have been cited by ball believers as the "proof" of such "real" images. This video discusses the official Himari websites listed below, which upon closer investigation seem to be pointing more in the direction of the "official" Himiwari images being composites, similar the ones NASA uses.
So I guess, as skeptics have been mentioning for some time now, we're all still waiting for those glorious "real" images of Earth from space, .... maybe next year. :)
