> Art is provocative
replyThe misleading part is that readers don’t see that it’s provocative art until you carefully read the details. It’s presented like documentary evidence of what the problem looks like.
The photographer might not have intended it this way, but the writers of this post took advantage of that.
The first sentence literally says it’s a multi image composite so…
replyThat’s not the misleading part. You don’t need an explanation to see that it’s a composite.
replyThe misleading part is where he edited out the stars by hand.
> Much of the time was spent painstakingly erasing stars, to reveal the satellites.
The photographer wasn’t misleading. He made a cool photo. The headline is misleading.
Clearly you do since everyone is up in arms about making a composite image. There are still a bunch of stars in the image.
replyThere's nothing misleading about removing light sources to reveal other light sources. You're speaking as though they erased all the sky's stars. The image is full of stars. This is petty.
replyI really like the photo and what it represents. We're growing as a civilization and I think that's beautiful.
replyMeanwhile I’d like to be able to enjoy the stars without Elon’s shit in my face. Can’t wait for the Coca Cola advertisements some day.
replyThe rest of us enjoy having high speed internet globally.

reply"Rest of us" is not a reasonable phrase here. You do not speak for the global population. It's not everybody vs bix6.
