Isn't that artificially colored?

[-] lemming@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

Not quite. It's based on real wavelenths detected, but they might've been arificially assigned colours (although I think the images this is based on sort of correspond to human perception). But the colours are massively adjusted and contrast increased way past the point I would consider reasonable.

These images are mindblowing. Bring me back down to Earth? Do you have a favorite image with reasonable coloring and contrast?
