@hfalcke@mastodon.social Only criticising article authors Thanks for your post Seems the best way to protest the use of artistic views by "science" journals who should know better. Its also a reminder to readers, many of whom appear convinced the art is what telescopes see. Some exo planets, former planets, are "seen" as a handful of pixels, the science is deep calculation of mathematical ratios.
