The Otherview Effect

I have generated imagined views of new planets by mirroring the scientific process by which these potential Earth-like planets are simulated to aid in their discovery. The process I developed started by collecting images from the Apollo missions where the overview effect was felt through the very lens of each photo. With this image set, I trained a neural network to generate new Earth-like images which mirrors the process by which exoplanetary research models based off of Earth are used to generate scientifically valuable simulations of new habitable planets. The images output from the trained network also bare the uncertainty and clumsiness inherent in the scientific models. When viewed in isolation it is clear this is like Earth but not, uncanny but possible, there could be life beyond the resolution. Are we ready for the image of our home to be just one of many?
