I asked the DallE AI tool to show me the cover art of MetallicA's Load as painted by Vincent Van Gogh.

Here's the actual explanation from Nasa:

Quote

This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region called NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. Captured in infrared light by NASA’s new James Webb Space Telescope, this image reveals for the first time previously invisible areas of star birth.

Called the Cosmic Cliffs, Webb’s seemingly three-dimensional picture looks like craggy mountains on a moonlit evening. In reality, it is the edge of the giant, gaseous cavity within NGC 3324, and the tallest “peaks” in this image are about 7 light-years high. The cavernous area has been carved from the nebula by the intense ultraviolet radiation and stellar winds from extremely massive, hot, young stars located in the center of the bubble, above the area shown in this image.

All of those pictures look suspiciously like the spray paint pieces the street artists in Vegas make.

Yeah, you can just look in the air (at night obv) and see stars. Who gives a crap.

At least we get some good phone or computer wallpapers from the space binoculars

I saw a before and after comparison pic on twitter and it was honestly pretty astounding.
