@mcnees I always wonder whether these exposures can be calibrated retroactively, i.e. whether there is enough data to get approximated luminance values for every pixel, so one could have a comparison, e.g. looking at the sun vs. that

they look just so unreal

@mcnees I sometimes think that the best mimicry of charlatans is a tinge of science, giving validity to what is essentially ideology or a bunch foregone conclusions.

With applied science sometimes eating the world, and technologists raising their hands as if just the messenger, I feel that Sagan wanted us to look for deeper understanding than that:

"Avoidable human misery is more often caused not so much by stupidity as by ignorance, particularly our ignorance about ourselves…"

@mcnees extremely educational
