No AI, this is a real photo taken by Percy’s engineering cameras of astronomical twilight on #Mars! You can see Deimos in the sky too.
I worked pretty hard to plan, execute, and analyze this image, and it came out beautifully! A bit noisy, but it was very dark out after all.

After decades of quiet, this Alaska volcano could be ready to blow
Scientists warn that the Alaska volcano Mount Spurr is likely to erupt soon, showering ash on Anchorage and potentially disrupting air travel.
