Is this a real photo from space or did Apple just render it? If it is real, what constellations can you identify?

[Simon Veteran]

Well, if you look at the stars in the background while fully zoomed in, it does look real. However, that's not to say they didn't do some photoshopping to it.

[The Laughing Man]

LOL, Seriously??

[joker999]

there no blur or pixel, all is render.

Why can't Microsoft do things this cool?

[osirisX]

Why can't Microsoft do things this cool?

Because Steve Ballmer said Microsoft doesn't need to do cool things.

What's so cool about it? It's... just a wallpaper.

[TonyLock]

^It's cooler than that crappy "luna" hills & sky!

The core image behind it actually is part of larger photo from NASA, however the Aura (of course) was created by the wonderful people in Apple's Graphics Design and Media department. I think the core image is credited somewhere in the OS's deep, dark secret places.
