A magnificent photo of a space shuttle once again fooled many people and quickly became a popular image to share online. What bothered a lot of people is the need to even retouch the image with Photoshop, since the original is already great as it is. With more and more people learning to use various photo editing programs every day, fake photos are becoming more and more common. Unfortunately, without people checking their sources, those photos quickly go viral. Bored Panda has compiled a list of fake viral photos that misled internet users everywhere. From marijuana in space to bears chasing cyclists, some edits are so well done you’ll find it hard to believe they are fake even with the actual image next to it.
