Fake astro images in Win10 opening screen

[han59]

Attached two fake images which showed up in my Win10 opening screen.  Clouds behind stars and so on.  It is almost insulating. It used to be "through the eyes of the photographer" but this "through Photoshop baked". Makes me sad.

Maybe it's the sun's evil twin, the moon, over exposed to get the stars. 

I don't think they're "fake" but definitely Photoshop butchered as the stars have trails.

I find it odd that the snowy picture shows strong shadows but the sun/moon in the desert picture doesn't cast any.

I think the matterhorn image is a composite.

According to Getty Images it's photoshopped:

The desert picture is called 'moonrise'

I have to say the Monument Valley shot looks dead straight to me.

I won't speculate on the other one !

What about the iOS wallpaper of Andromeda... ?‍♂️

I assume Apple decided M110 was not pretty enough, so replaced it with a big blue glow.
