Looks like CGI to me.

Doesn't look real to me either. For one thing the mountains are far too high compared to the curvature of the earth. Even Everest is only a faint ripple on the surface of such a huge sphere - if the earth were scaled down to the size of an orange it would be smoother than an orange is.

That's too close to the Earth to be in space. It might be one of the outer atmosphere's but it's not from Space.

The curvature of the earth is the bright line you see on the left so it aint really curving that much.

which bit is Everest ?

One of the hills to the bottom I think

If you have a look at the website and check out some of the others it is CGI.

There's no way you get that clear a shot without a cloud for thousands of miles.

It was pretty clear that day though, I didn't even need a wind-cheater.

That's not Everest. I've been to the top of Everest and there is a little cafe at the top which is clearly missing from this pic. A fake.

And it is covered with bodies all over the place. Ugh!
