Geography Major - Not so useless after all


FILE - In this July 1969 file photo, most of Africa and portions of Europe and Asia can be seen in this photograph taken from the Apollo 11 spacecraft during its translunar coast toward the moon, during the month of July, 1969. Apollo 11 was already about 98,000 nautical miles from earth when this picture was made.

(AP-Photo/NASA, file)

I found this photo with this caption on Yahoo! News. Notice anything wrong with this picture (or with this caption, to be literal)? It's not Africa, it's South America. It's not Europe, it's North America. It's not Asia, it's Africa. My only question is: Are they currently hiring geniuses at the Associated Press, at NASA, or at Yahoo? (in unison) Or all three?
