The first pix looks doctored. Could be a reconstruction from one of sun-synchronous polar orbiters. My guess is a morning orbit with the reconstruction centered over Mexico. Could you provide the source of your 2012 pix?
The second pix is the infamous backward SEX pix.
Second pix: A view of the entire sunlit side of Earth from one million miles away, taken on July 6, 2015, was the first image from the Deep Space Climate Observatory.
A complex of thunderstorms over the eastern tropical Pacific can be seen and is a common occurrence in the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).
An inverted perverted rendering of the ITCZ reveals the word “sex.” Whether the rendering was intentional or an artifact is undetermined. The image was a breakthrough in CCD camera technology.
You should tell NASA what you think of THEIR pix, not me.

Which you can find by right clicking the image and then picking properties...just like I told you to do.
Laziness!
