Image processing Memes

Look what they did to our majestic ice giants! The original Voyager 2 images showed Uranus as a bland cyan ball while Neptune flaunted that gorgeous deep blue. Then some scientists decided to "reprocess" the images and—BAM—now both planets look like they've been through the cosmic washing machine with too much bleach! Neptune's signature blue? GONE. The astronomical equivalent of taking the blueberry out of blueberry pie! No wonder our stick figure friend is having an existential crisis. This is what happens when you let photo editors loose on planetary data—suddenly the solar system looks like it's suffering from color blindness!

Hold onto your telescopes! Someone just reprocessed the Voyager 2 images and turned our beloved blue ice giants into boring mint-colored orbs! The outrage is astronomical! 😱 For decades, we've known Neptune as the stunning deep blue planet and Uranus as its lighter cyan cousin. But apparently some image processing wizardry has stripped them of their iconic colors! The stick figure's reaction perfectly captures every space enthusiast having an existential crisis. Fun fact: Neptune's rich blue comes from methane gas absorbing red light, while Uranus has more atmospheric haze giving it that distinct cyan look. Now someone's gone and made them practically twins! The planetary identity theft is real!
