But when the northern lights are bright enough you can definitely see the colors.&lt;p&gt;The fact that some things are too dark to be seen by humans but can be captured accurately with cameras doesn&amp;#x27;t mean that the camera, or the AI, is &amp;quot;making things up&amp;quot; or whatever.&lt;p&gt;Finally, nobody wants to see a video or a photo of a dark, gray, and barely visible aurora.</text></comment>

I have seen northern lights with my own eyes that were more neon green and bright purple than any mainstream photo.</text></comment>
