Why aren't there any pictures of earth from space only computer generated?
I don't know what search terms you are using, but there are lots and lots of photos of the Earth from space, both the complete planet and parts of it, taken by astronauts and automatic satellites. The most iconic is 'Earthrise' taken from Apollo 8. Try that as a search term. There are pictures of earth from space. They were taken by the Apollo rockets. One that was seen everywhere was shot from the 1969 moon landing. You may have seen it and assumed it wasn't real.

How many days of summer are left?
The average length of the northern hemisphere summer, calculated as the average time from the June solstice until the September equinox, is about 93 days and 15½ hours. The average length of the southern hemisphere summer, calculated as the average time from the December solstice until the March equinox, is about 89 days. (The reason the southern hemisphere summers are shorter than the northern hemisphere summers is that orbiting objects travel faster the closer they are to what they're orbiting, and Earth is closest to the sun in early January and farthest from the sun in early July.)
