   	It's all based on reality--you know, that thing you avoid like the   
   plague?  The Earth had a certain visual magnitude as seen from MESSENGER,   
   as did Mercury, Venus and all of the stars in the sky.  Based on the numbers   
   that *you* posted, it's physically impossible for MESSENGER to have imaged   
   both Earth and any other body due to Earth's overwhelming brightness.  All   
   the goofy conspiracy theories in the world won't negate that simple fact,   
   and your response to this basic fact reveals to me that you're a kook who's   
   more interested in his laughable conspiracy theories than the truth.
