Painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red
Oh, pardon me but Mr. 3,
Why must you paint them red?
This “false color” image is indeed pretty, but it reflects artistry as much as science. Where climatologists lie for money, the marketers of satellite missions gussy up their photographs with false colors to make them more appealing to the masses.
Admittedly, people can’t see near-infrared, so the photo artists have to assign SOME particular color to it. But the article says that Saturn was sunlit at the time, so let’s see a more realistic, visible light photograph as well.
Because we’re NASA and we’re part of the GUBMINT and if you don’t listen to how we want you to perceive the universe, well, we just might not let you see any more pictures. We’ll just pick em up take him home and you can’t play with them anymore So we better not see any green hexagons
