The Facebook page "The Reis" has published a photo showing the planet Earth in a flat shape, with the caption: "The Indian Space Agency has released the first image of Earth taken by the Chandrayaan-3 lunar rover."
India recently became the first country to land a Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft on the Moon's south pole to see if there is a water base. (here and here)
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the image posted by the aforementioned site was not taken by the Indian spacecraft "Chandrayaan-3", but that it has been edited and has been circulating on the internet for several years.
Link to the post published by the “Chanrayaan-3” page:
Hibrid.info, using the automated online program "InVID", has confirmed that this photograph has been circulating on the internet since at least 2021, which has been published by various social media sites, which apparently belong to flat-earth theory supporters. (see here, here and here)
That India did not take any pictures of the planet Earth during this mission to the Moon has also been confirmed on the official website of the Indian Space Research Organization. (see here)
Apart from its website, this organization has not yet posted any photos of planet Earth taken during the Moon mission on its official social media accounts, Facebook and X (formerly Twitter). (see here and here)
Analyze:
The website "The Reis" has published an old edited photograph showing the planet Earth in a flat shape.
With this image, the aforementioned site falsely claims that the image was taken during India's "Chandrayaan-3" mission to the Moon.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this post as "Fake News".
Reasoning:
The "Fake News" rating is given to media reports that are entirely the product of a medium that itself contains factually incorrect claims or information.
Content that is considered fake news can be reliably determined to have been created and distributed with the intent to misinform the public, i.e., to present a claim that is completely false as fact.
