The AI-generated pictures were made with Google Gemini for this site, using NASA and Smithsonian photos only as style references. They show no people, no DC characters and no logos, and each carries Google's invisible SynthID watermark.
No NASA or Smithsonian logo is used, and nothing on this site suggests they endorse it. Superman isn't shown in any of these pictures: we don't use DC artwork, film stills or logos.
