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...

hmmmm i doubt thats cosmic rays, seams more like extreme temperature and low presure did something to the films chemistry

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.

Agreed. I'd think cosmic rays would leave linear marks since they are like atomic bullets.

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.

StaticFalconar@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 120d

Too bad the TIL statement makes the art project be more than what is.

I don't know if I trust the photography student to explain the film's deterioration using physics terms

Back button hijack bullshit.

Here are the pictures.
