The night-sky image so incredible the NZ man behind it has been accused of using AI
“appeared so extraordinary the astrophotographer who captured it is fighting accusations it was created by AI”
What happened
A New Zealand astrophotographer took 578 photos over two hours and spent about 40 hours layering them to show some 1,400 satellites crossing the sky above Mount Taranaki. The result looked so unreal that he is now fending off accusations it was made with AI, and he had filmed his process in advance because he expected them.
