This Sunday, Sep 7, there'll be a total lunar #eclipse visible from east Africa, Asia and Australia. We'll see lots of amazing photographs, but also many fake ones unfortunately. So here's an article I wrote a while back with some useful tricks to figure out if an astronomical image might be fake: https://www.eso.org/public/blog/csi-astronomy/
I don't specifically cover #AI generated images, but the general principles still apply.
