The new planet, now known as TOI 1388b, is TESS’s first circumbinary planet, which means that it orbits two stars instead of one. “One is about 10% more massive than our Sun, while the other is cooler, dimmer and only one-third the Sun’s mass,” NASA Goddard writes. TOI 1388b itself is approximately 6.9 times larger than Earth—between the sizes of Neptune and Saturn.
Recently, someone released a few generated images of TOI 1388b that took the internet by storm. Spoiler alert—it’s absolutely gorgeous.

'“We cant take photos that far… but it’s real… it’s just artistic depiction of the planet,” another user added.'
Well, then it's not real. It's just an artists depiction, albeit a robotic artist.

Something,
Yeah, the planet is real, the picture is fantasy. I think it may be useful to take what you know and extrapolate possibilities but it is amazing how many people seem to think the result is what you would actually see in all aspects.
