Stephen Hannard ADG(UK) is all one needs to see to know whether or not this is real or not.
And not would be the right answer.

After 16 years of closed doors, Brasilia Planetarium reopens today. Source LinkIt looks like it's a publicity image to show off the quality of their new projectors. |

Considering it is a picture from a presentation put on by the Brasilia Planetarium (you can see the Planetarium equipment in the picture), I'm going to guess that it was taken from a presentation (or part of a presentation) about asteroid impacts of Earth. I think the "mother ship" is a CGI animation of what an asteroid impact would look like.
I realize that the video says it was from a presentation at the Brasilia Planetarium about a Mother ship photographed from the ISS, but I think my explanation (presentation with a CGI animation of an asteroid impact) is more likely, given all of the circumstances.
So yeah -- I'm not doubting this photograph was taken at the Brasilia Planetarium. I'm simply doubt that it is a picture of a mother ship.

Three thousand mile wide? Wow!
How was this missed by everybody on the planet with eyes and the ability to look up?

What we see is not all of what there is. If we look at a cloud we see a cloud yet if we expand the visual frequency we may be able to see more. This can be accomplished by lenses and other means. We can see in the dark with the aid of night vision, that is not possible to see by most people naturally. The pictures of space clouds and galaxies we are shown are sometimes not very visible to us, they use special lenses and filters to translate it to make it visible to us.
I am not sure if this is the case in this picture or if it is just a hoax. The point I am trying to make is that it is possible that there are things out there that are not visible to us that other animals can see. Dust could accumulate in a pattern in the atmosphere similar to this. I'm just saying it is as possible as halos around the sun and moon and the harvest moon.
If this was real, we may only see a hazy brown sky from here down below.

If this was real, we may only see a hazy brown sky from here down below. Actually, we would probably see darkness. It could be darker than a total eclipse under the ship. Like I said above, what it looks like to me is that the Brasilia Planetarium (from which this picture was taken) was putting on a presentation about asteroid impacts, and this picture is from a CGI animation of that impact (ie., part of that presentation). |

Regardless of this being from the presentation of the new equipment in that Brasilia planetarium, Isn't the ISS too close to Earth for it to be possible to take a photo like that, showing that much of Earth?

Sigh  I'm not sure what they did there. but it looks like something hit the atmosphere if I had to guess if it was a real photo. Which I doubt it is. |
