Re: Note that the road and railroad are also visible
"A photograph taken from space appears to confirm that China's Great
Wall can be seen with the naked eye after all. "
Unless this particular camera had been calibrated to match the behavior
of the human eye, all this proves is that this particular camera can
image the Great Wall.
Having a static image also helps, you can look at it until the feature
pops out. If you were looking for the Wall from orbit your would have a
couple of minutes at best to find it. I don't think photography really
proves anything in this case.
