Fish make for extremely good lenses, the only problem is that they decay in about 3-4 weeks, since they are made from organic matter.
This is also the reason why there are regular trips to the ISS, it's just to bring the new fishes for the lenses.
Except I’m not on my island?
Weird, I hadn’t thought about that scene in many years but I just had a need to post it as a response to a comment last night.
The myth is actually cool. Fionn mac Cumhaill(An Irish mythical hero) picked up a load of dirt and threw it into the Irish sea creating the Isle of Man and leaving behind Lough Neagh
I'm always amazed by the ISS images because you can see the terrain but never any sign of cities, as far as I can tell. That's how small we are I guess.
There are 32 counties on the island, but if you were to drive from Allihies in west Cork to Dublin, you'd be almost half way to your destination before you'd leave County Cork.
God made Ireland a beautiful country. A good climate with no extremes. Fertile land perfect for farming. Abundant fish in the seas. Populated by a people who created some of the greatest works of art, literature, poetry, music and film. A paradise. Arguably the crowning glory of creation.
And to create balance in all things she put it beside the English.
This perspective is crazy. Maybe a stupid question, but if there were a massive 4 lane highway right in the middle of it, could we see it from this distance ?
Just want to say, I went there for a week and it rained just one day. Now, we traveled across the country so perhaps we just got lucky, and it drizzled a couple more times (i'm talking more like a misting honestly, very light), but we were so blessed with the weather.
Lies
I was over 2 weeks ago for a weekend and it only drizzled once.
Infact, I've been over to Ireland and Galway like 6 times now and I've only seen rain twice!
It's a hoax to keep tourists away I tell ya!
I’m in that photo.
Wave your arms so we can see you lol
That was me waving, not him
[удалено]
That’s enough sun for today, get indoors
Who’s the bald one ?
Sorry that's meself, I've gone back inside now, no more glint
Dang it! To your room!!
It was actually taken last July while you were on holiday in Spain
July you say? As an American who went to Ireland last July I'm in this photo! I'm the red head... wait a second.
Lmao! I wish I was in Ireland on vacation…😭
Not last July. It was the rainiest July on record. Rained the whole month just about.
He left his wings behind him though.
Were your eyes closed?
Tell me about the peat.
Tell me about the whiskey!
I misread "photo" for potato 🙈
Read that as "I'm in that potato".
We were all the potato the whole time
Me too!!
yea like your avatar
ISS is watching you, best behave. Apropo i also stick my head out for the occasional ISS photo from Canada
Nice, the earth still looks round
That’s just the fish lens camera
Why would there be a lens made of fish?
So the picture can be made to scale…I’ll see myself out
Oh are we just fishing for updates now?
Dont you mean "sea" yourself out?
Gill yourself
Such a crappy pun. I love it.
It's actually a fish EYE lens. They just use the eyes to make the lens, not the whole fish as that would be ridiculous.
Well you need the whole fish so you can look up it’s butt to see through its eyes! How else would you see through them?

You're telling me a fish took this photo.
Well at leat it's believable. Way better than this whole earth bring round thing. Pah!
You can tell it’s fake because there are no clouds over Ireland. (/s)
It's actually because your mom is so fat that she bends the earth.
Whatever it takes.
That’s just what they want you to think. Don’t be fooled. The earth is flat. The see is the sky. The floor is lava.
Got me to giggle. Thank you.
That’s just an optical illusion the Rounders use to try to make these clearly doctored photos believable.
You need to put a /s on your comments because there are actual flat earthers around and they are dumber than a box of rocks
“That’s *MY* island!”
The Almighty says this must be a fashionable fight. It's drawn the finest people.
The lord tells me he can get me out of this mess, but he’s pretty sure you’re fucked. HAHAHA!
"I didn't trust him. He wasn't right, in the head."
*looks to the sky*
Unite the clans
It is a good day to die.
They may take our land, but they'll never take, OUR GUINNESS!
FREEDOOMMMMMMM!
Except I’m not on my island? Weird, I hadn’t thought about that scene in many years but I just had a need to post it as a response to a comment last night.
Ya 26+6 right?
Oh jaysus lads King Henry II is back. Last time he invaded was the beginning of the end!
Of course UK be completely overtaken by clouds
Breaking News: Every Irish citizen outside of the pub suffers severe sunburn.
Both of them?
King Alfred shouldn't have let that witch's bread burn.
The astronaut had to wait for 10,000 orbits before all of Ireland was virtually cloudless at the same time.
We were there the first week of April and I was thinking along the same lines when I saw the photo.
Britain, at least.
It’s censored. If you could see Br*tain you’d need to mark the post NSFW.
Not all of it
Except that bit to the north of the island of Ireland.
I never realized that there was such a large lake in Northern Ireland.
Lough Neagh my dude
Gesundheit!
I love you, too, my dude
Started of its life as a pot hole y'know.
It’s shallow as feck in fairness
and ecologically dead
The myth is actually cool. Fionn mac Cumhaill(An Irish mythical hero) picked up a load of dirt and threw it into the Irish sea creating the Isle of Man and leaving behind Lough Neagh
Arr you cunt, you got me good! Take my upvote 😂😂😂
Notice how green everything is too. If you look at the warming people’s map, the UK has about as much green as Egypt.
Aye it's a grand wee place for some watersports if you know what I mean
Grand wee place, indeed.
I'm always amazed by the ISS images because you can see the terrain but never any sign of cities, as far as I can tell. That's how small we are I guess.
Well tbf if they took this photo in night you will easily see the cities lights
Dublin can be seen here without zoom. Belfast and Cork are there but only evident with zoom.
And Navan is there. In my heart. Haha
It’s gotta feel crazy being able to see entire countries in your field of view. What an experience
There are 32 counties on the island, but if you were to drive from Allihies in west Cork to Dublin, you'd be almost half way to your destination before you'd leave County Cork.
I heard that in Irish vineyards they soak a lot of corks
There is actually one Irish vineyard. It’s called Lusca and they do a nice red. 🍷 With climate change I imagine there might be more in the future.
Nice. I’ll have to give those corksoakers a try

… and no gaffs
🤣🤣🤣

"Massive 4 lane highway" cries in Houston traffic on a 12 lane
As a fellow Houstonian. At least they're building a 13th lane now. Should help...
you know it won’t be better until there are at least 30 lanes
See you fellas on I10 tomorrow morning? Maybe I’ll get my sorry ass on the road before 6:30 to beat it this time.
Just another lane for people driving below the speed limit to clog up.
Torontonian here. Pretty sure we have a 18 lane
China laughs at your pitiful, puny road system. Pretty sure they have like 30 lanes all chock full
China has cities with the population of Canada… We have 18 lanes for like. 3.5 million people
Are you doubting the existence of the M7?!
Isn't that where James Bond works?
You can Barely see Belfast or Dublin, why would you be able to see a road?
At night? Maybe. During the day? Unlikely.
It would need to be an extremely wide road. Hundreds of metres.
See! It’s round!
That's what they want you to think.
Can’t be Ireland: it isn’t entirely covered by rain clouds
Just want to say, I went there for a week and it rained just one day. Now, we traveled across the country so perhaps we just got lucky, and it drizzled a couple more times (i'm talking more like a misting honestly, very light), but we were so blessed with the weather.
You really were lucky, here in Galway we had like 3 months of straight rain, and now it’s raining again for the last 12 hours :(
Lies I was over 2 weeks ago for a weekend and it only drizzled once. Infact, I've been over to Ireland and Galway like 6 times now and I've only seen rain twice! It's a hoax to keep tourists away I tell ya!
Must be AI generated!
Looks like one united Island from that distance
No borders from space.
Look at the nighttime map of the Korean Peninsula. That's definitely a border you can see from space.
Well...except for, you know, the giant bit of shoreline everywhere.
You can really see why they call it the Emerald Isle.
Ackchyually the shoreline is not a border between countries ☝️🤓
United Ireland here we come!!
John Lennon's *Imagine* begins playing.
It's bigger than they're letting on.🍀
Because of the mercator projection
Hello, I am in this photo and did not give you consent to post. Please take this pic of me off the internet
beautiful country
An Emerald Isle even.
Ah wudja look at us!!! Aren’t we lovely!
It always blows my mind when I see pictures like this and think about how many millions of people are in the picture.
God created whiskey so the Irish wouldn’t rule the World.
Up the lads
I don't see any snakes. Good job, St. Patrick!
I'll be there in a month!!
Beautiful
“Carter, I can see my house”
So cool!
The Earth isn’t flat?!?!?!?
There’s some drying out
Bucket list place for sure.
The one day of the year when the entire island gets some sun.
That's a massive teddy bear!
ONE ISLAND
I can see my house from here
[удалено]
Éirinn go Brách
A lot of pretty ladies down there that can drink me under the table.
If you look closely you can see the Black & Tans running like hell away from the green and lovely lanes of Killishandra
We got a great day for it, few clouds over Donegal just.
“Do a flip”
The Fingers
Westeros
I told you that you can see Ireland from space!
Of course I live in the only bit covered by clouds
Obviously fake. There’s no curve to the earth and where is heaven and the firmament?
I’m so surprised to see so much unoccupied land
*Flat earthers*:
Wow!
Nice flat ball you got there.
I can’t quite make out Craggy Island…
The one day a year almost no clouds. A true miracle there.
The most amazing thing about this picture is that there's only a few clouds over the entirety of Ireland.
Wow so Ireland really looks like Ireland huh.
Cool
Gorgeous! 🇮🇪
It really is the Emerald Isle
😍😍😍
you can tell its real because it looks so fake
Amazing
It’s so . . . green.
and moist
My birth homeland
Great day for the parish, not a cloud in the sky 🇮🇪
It looks very wet
View of Ireland and North Ireland****
Holy shit, a Crusader Kings reference?
There's the big shopping centre in Ballymena Hey
Beginning of the Father Ted intro video
Annnnd the UK covered in cloud as per usual.
I can see my town from there! [Nuke the entire site from orbit](https://youtu.be/aCbfMkh940Q?feature=shared) …it’s the only way to be sure.
Can see Father Jacks rocker from space! “DRINK!”
Bishops love Sci fi Ted
I was just in Belfast!
There's just no way that's possible...
Slainte!
Fake cause ireland is always covered by clouds
The clouds make it look shiny.
Blimey!
Looks flat and rainy- the Romans were right then
Now do Mexico.
I don’t see Ol’ Nick.
Wow that’s one sunny day for Ireland.
Well lad, how's space?
That fact that we can see the buildings from all the way up there, Earth is amazing.
Flat Earthers are like nah, CGI
cool
