The article describes the arrival of the 2025 Sturgeon Moon, a bright full moon visible in August, with details about its timing and appearance across the U.S., accompanied by photos of the event.

The article showcases stunning images of the June's Strawberry Moon, a full moon that occurs when strawberries ripen, captured from various locations worldwide, highlighting its size, brightness, and cultural significance.

Social media users accused Samsung of faking moon photos with the Galaxy S23 Ultra, but a Reddit user's experiment and subsequent testing by a journalist found that the phone's AI-enhanced photos are not fake, but rather processed images. Samsung confirmed that its Lunar detection engine uses AI to reconstruct lost detail in moon photos, and the company plans to improve its Scene Optimizer to reduce confusion between real moon photos and processed images. Huawei's P60 Pro may soon offer a way to take clear moon photos with context, such as a building or person in the frame.

Social media users accused Samsung of faking moon photos with the Galaxy S23 Ultra, but tests show that the phone's AI-enhanced images are not entirely fake. Samsung confirmed that its Lunar detection engine uses AI to reconstruct lost detail in moon photos, and the company plans to improve its Scene Optimizer to reduce confusion between real moon photos and enhanced images. Huawei's P60 Pro may soon offer a way to take clear moon photos with context, such as a building or person in the frame.

Samsung has reiterated how its "Ultra" smartphones capture photos of the moon, following controversy over the authenticity of the images. The company explained how its devices combine super resolution technologies with AI to produce high-quality images of the moon. Samsung's "Space Zoom" feature was criticised after a Reddit post showed a blurry image of the moon as the source, only for the Samsung device to sharpen the image and add details that weren't available in the source image. Samsung said the AI used to create the moon photos is just doing its job, filling in gaps from a blurry subject.

Samsung has explained its Moon photo detection system, which uses AI to enhance detail and produce bright, low-noise pictures when taking clear photos of the Moon at 25X zoom or above. The company's Scene Optimizer can be turned off, and the system won't work if the Moon is obscured or the image wasn't taken on Earth. Samsung's defense comes after allegations that it was faking Moon images by adding detail that wasn't present in the raw scene. The company is refining Scene Optimizer to reduce any potential confusion between taking photos of the actual Moon and mere images of it.

Samsung denies applying AI-based image overlays on Moon photos taken by the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The company claims that its AI-based Scene Optimizer technology recognizes the Moon as the main object and enhances the details and colors of the image quality without applying any image overlaying. Users can disable the feature to take photos without automatic detail enhancements. While there is no conclusive evidence, some speculate that the advanced processors on the Galaxy S23 Ultra might be applying AI to add detail and artificially enhance Moon photos.
