Back button hijack bullshit.
Here are the pictures.

Ripped the second image from Instagram and reuploaded to Lemmy
Wow, the stock Windows Vista wallpaper!
Our hero, thank you for your service! o7
Anyone who’s ever used a Polaroid would recognize these photo patterns
They did it during daylight so there are no black holes involved. The stuff is coming from the sun. Anyway, still funny pictures
I’m very skeptical of this. High energy radiation on photographic film generally causes a speckle pattern, where each individual particle that hits the film exposes a small spot. The distribution of speckles should also be relatively uniform across the image. This looks more like a small amount of light made it through the packaging and caused patterns as the film spun around.
Magnetic field lines could do something similar, but did it go through a storm weather or something then? Or something aurora like
hmmmm i doubt thats cosmic rays, seams more like extreme temperature and low presure did something to the films chemistry
Agreed. I’d think cosmic rays would leave linear marks since they are like atomic bullets.
spent 2 months in Project X, testing different photographic emulsions under extreme radiation—from hospital X-rays—to determine which would hold up best
What you’re looking at is an amalgamation of muons, formed millions of light year away from black holes, and UVC radiation usually filtered out by the ozone layer, but now etched onto this canvas and potentially electrical discharge due to the static build up between the dark bad and the film
UVC? So the film did get direct exposure? Because UVC should usualy not penetrate thru film can material.
It does just look like a light leak to me.
Seems like everybody is trying Too hard to make something out of nothing. Unless this was a repeatable result where the same coordinates in the sky at the exact altitudes produce the exact repeatable pattern, this is the equivalent on random spill/splash from liquids onto a piece of paper that was then dried. There are plenty of stuff up there besides cosmic rays that will interact with film.
This was not a physics experiment, this was an art project.
I don’t know if I trust the photography student to explain the film’s deterioration using physics terms
Thanks OP cute read. Original article from the student here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c152gpqxkv0o …unfortunately it seems like the pics are posted on insta.
Getting real tired of seeing cool art stuff and then they bury the leer with “check out the whole thing on twitter/insta/reddit” and if you bring up the issues with those platforms everyone trips over themselves to justify why their use of the neonazi-billionaire-pedo owned sites is justified…
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Hear hear

Thanks for the additional info!
I would have expected static.
using a helium balloon
Your own source stated that it was hot air.
Fixed it. Sorry.
The second paragraph of that source states it was a helium balloon. Also, the BBC article only describes it as helium.
Space is, like, cool.
Very, very cool.
