It's not a fake -- it's a composite of several images. Several for the sky and one for the ground. It's the only way to get the large panoramic views of the night sky.

Get this... a picture taken from the surface of Mars showing the Earth and our Moon IN THE SAME FRICKIN FRAME as Jupiter and it's moons. :eek:

Incredible picture! It's not from the surface, but rather from orbit around Mars. None of the landers have optics that good. That's really cool.

I scaned this thread and couldn't find this video. Sorry if it's a duplicate. It's so mind blowing it's worth a look.
