While you're correct, the "specific wavelength" images still seem like cheating. Sure, purple would be pretty hard otherwise (and that purple color is a typical false color for nebulas, while the sun one is not typical for most people to see), the cyan shouldn't be hard to do. There's plenty of satalite pictures of earth with the right color, or the atmosphere. Maybe they don't want too many earth pictures, but they could ditch the white clouds for Pluto or something. White is easy. Green would be harder to replace.
Which is weird that black isn't just a picture of the night sky. Has to be some fancy IR Hubble image that's been redshifted back to "true" (so doesn't that make it technically real-color again even though it's been manipulated? 🤔)
Surprisingly many seem to be in real color: white, pink, red, orange, maybe brown, probably green, and yellow. (The well-known Neptune image is false color; Hubble deep-field is IR but that is redshifted so IDK, may be "real" color too.) Too bad white, pink and red are Earth's atmospheric phenomena, of which only the aurora is really space-related, and green is just a satellite photo. Still, within NASA's scope I guess.
I read that the progress pride flag is copyrighted and some people (or a single person) may be profiting from it.
Several sources seemed coherent with this. That's why I try to keep away from it. And also it seems be mostly used in USA anyway, I haven't seen it much around Europe.
The pride flag was envisioned and flown for the first time in San Francisco. For better or worse, most of global queer culture is us centric.
Most of the flags are also copyrighted or copylefted, to some degree or another. It's a jumbled mess. But in general no one is profiting unless you are literally buying a physical flag, as all of them fall into fair use or can be freely licensed for use in commercial products.
The "In a specific wavelength" ones are cheating imo
See this rainbow? It's the sun (in a certain wavelength)
Yeah, though it looks like the cyan (which would be ~500nm) is actually false color UV image, judging by the same color scale as this https://www.nasa.gov/image-detail/5-3-2024_sdo_x1pt6_flare_131/
Meh, space might as well be B&W to our eyeballs. About every space pic we see is dialed into particular wavelengths.
Mad props on the creativity! Be cool to see one made of all Earth photos, and much easier I would guess.

Especially with Uranus right there for blue… i feel like Crab Nebula for purple can get a pass though.
All but purple, blue, black and cyan seem to be real-color. I have some doubts about brown too.

Let's be honest the color "black" is just strange anyway because it is and isn't a color in a weird way.
Not gonna lie, using a different wavelength feels like cheating when it comes to obtaining a color.
Yeah... You can basically say "this is x-ray but represented in "

I thought the tops of sprites reached space
Sure but they are atmospheric phenomena because they need gas to happen.
What is a sprite in this context? As in the red part?
Sprites are a lightning phenomenon in the mesosphere of earth. They're red because of nitrogen. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(lightning)
Proof the universe wants you to be gay
Bro, it's not gay if you're under the Milky way.
And fake
All that. Right there in the night sky. Where kiddies can see it.
Fucking WOKEYS! They've turned SPACE gay!
Anyone have a link to a version large enough for a 4k wallpaper?

thanks!
I bet the designer is a quilter at NASA :)
I thought the pride flag was a rainbow top to bottom?
That's an older version of the pride flag. There have been a few designs. The rainbow top to bottom one is still very popular. This website describes some of the different flags.

In fact the creator of the lesbian flag is routinely begging to avoid homelessness

You need to escape the closing bracket.
You are correct but not with a backslash but
%29.Made before Trump took office, right?
Means nothing coming from NASA, while they're engaging in Lavender Scare 2.0 at the behest of their Paperclipped masters.
this has been my wallpaper for I think a little over a year
One of the blues looks green
