Starship Asterisk*

don't cd manufacturers tell/recommend that discs be kept out of the sun? so why is it the "message from earth" is right on top in full exposure? i guess whoever wants to read the disc better have really good disc recovery software.

Never mind the stars, look at the shadows of the antenna, foreground rock just to the right of the antenna, and the astronaut. Shouldn't they all be pretty much perpendicular if cast by the Sun???
If there was another light source, why hasn't the foreground rock got another shadow???
