There's no up or down in space. There should be an equal amount of pics showing Antarctica as the north pole. But every pic of earth from space shows the world as canada being at the top and not Australia. if you search 'earth from space upside down' all you get is people making fake images of what the earth would look like if it's upside down.

Also all of these earth pics are taken from afar so it's not due to satellites being launched from northern hemisphere and thus taking the pic at that angle.

The blue marble photo wasn't even taken from space. It's a series of lower altitude images stitched together. Robert Simmon, the graphic designer who worked on the project infamously said, "It is Photoshopped, but it, it has to be."
