Reported, @shiningscience.com. This is your first strike. The very next one and you're blocked (and of course reported again). This shit is why we've moved AWAY from Twitter! Shape up or get out.
Good news: You didn't! That's an AI generated photo. The Helix Nebula is real, but that's not what it looks like. Here's the real one, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. Source: www.nasa.gov/image-articl...
@spacepics.bsky.social is pretty accurate. Actually called out this post for being AI, iirc.
@astronomers.bsky.social is a good account. Alternatively, just go to astrobin.com and scroll through the feed, it’s got 900k+ images from all sorts of sources, mostly from amateur astrophotographers like myself but also from observatories and space telescope data. Picture of the day is always good
