    Fair point. After digging around I’m not finding that image on the NASA website, so it could very well be fake

      It’s a chunk of this: https://www.eso.org/public/images/eso1242a/

      It’s not NASA and not the night sky on Mars, let alone what you’d see. It’s not enough to say “don’t believe what you see in Instagram reels”, you should actively disbelieve what you see, especially since Facebook doesn’t give a shit about misinformation. They’d rather have engagement metrics.

        I viscerally hate how gullible I am.

        My wife’s always, “That’s probably not true,” and I’m believing EVERYTHING.

        Grrrr.
