All the comments about stars and sex ads are really funny, but I didn't see anyone bring this up so I will.
I was pretty disappointed to learn most photos of space that show off a c9lorful cosmos are edited or enhanced to allow us to see those colors. They aren't natural because our eyes cannot detect the visible spectrum (I think) on which the things in this photo exist. I might have the exact reason wrong but you get the general idea.
If we were actually out in space, it would be a lot of darkness, grey clouds and masses, with indistinct lumps everywhere.
It would not be a pretty LSD trip like every source of media from the beginning of the space race has taught us to believe.

This is what I assumed, but I’m into photography so I know that majority of photos people post are enhanced to being out colors
