If you could live on Saturn you could see the rings at night like we see the Moon only they'd be extremely bright and stretch across the entire sky. They're made of reflective ice.
That’s what a Chinook looks like.

"Elon Musk recently indicated that humanity might be approaching a critical point in artificial intelligence development, known as the 'singularity.' This term refers to when AI surpasses human intelligence, potentially leading to transformative changes. Discussions on social media reflect a mix of excitement and apprehension about this potential future."

ChatBot also denied. He said Musk is exaggerating but will definitely push up the topping point.

Now astrophotography has been instantly made into something different than what it was. Now it has almost nothing to do with astronomy and even the telescopes have been marginalized. Now, 90% of it is Apps-manship. The whole thing is post-processing of digital images. You don't have to know where celestial objects are, you don't have to know where your telescope is or do a polar alignment. It takes minutes to set up and then you let it run. The images automatically collect and track and AI cleans things up. It would be like considering fishing having a trophy bass delivered to you front door while you watch on tv. Somehow...not the real thing.

If it’s using ai to enhance those images, isn’t it the same as just downloading them?
Why even have a lens?
