Isn't it unrealistic, combining months of data together with unseen light wavelengths(giving every wavelength different colour for aesthetic). Someone need to capture earth like that.

the data is just manipulated so that it is visible to our limited sight abilities. the data is not unreal. it's not a generativeAI type of product. the thing actually exists. they also "listen" to them in other frequencies, and then turn that data into pictures. again, it's not fake data. it's just interpreting it in a way our squishy lobes can understand it

it's very realistic, reality isn't bound by what we can perceive directly
