Yes, it reached 3 point something mag. and had nice tails in the end but it was not a great comet by any means: just look how small and faint it appears next to the southern Milky Way!

Just posted this reply on Reddit because it saddens me to think that someone might not understand the beauty of the Fourier transform:

Another way I like to think of it: A lens does it in 2D, converting an incoming light beam into an image, or an image into a light beam. Plane wave <-> delta function.

A thread by fediverse favorites the Vagina museum on AI-generated inaccuracies.
They're mostly right to highlight this, but it shows an issue in the way people reason about AI's reliability: they look at the dream-logic nonsense that comes out of image generators and generalize it to the rest of AI. 1/n
