North America is about to experience a dramatic lunar eclipse as the "Blood Moon" eclipse turns the moon blood red overnight tonight (March 13-14).
That means skywatchers around the globe are anticipating a flood of incredible lunar images over the next few days. However, the boom in AI image generation and the availability of photo editing software mean that fake images are easier to create than ever. That means lunarphiles face a challenge: How can they sort the real deal eclipse images from the fakes?
No worries — Space.com has your six! We've teamed up with Catalina Sky Survey scientist, asteroid hunter, and RankinStudio astrophotographer David Rankin to help you spot the fakes this eclipse season!
