I'm still reeling from the knowledge that the Windows 10 desktop background is a real photo and not CGI

At this point in my internet life, I've been conditioned to just assume that everything I see is fundamentally "fake" in some way, either made up by some guy or computer generated in any number of ethically or practically dubious ways. But Windows 10's desktop background, with the blue light bursting out of a Windows logo suspended in a void? That was real, baby, that actually happened.

The design was a collaboration between Microsoft and the artist GMUNK, and it's not like it was a secret or anything...
