    not necessarily, usually i print things after i created them with blender and even if jupiter was printed, it would then still be real. just its origin would be … interesting, i mean how many edges, faces and vertices? could we still see and count them with todays technologie? how was it printed - my printer doesnt even support printing liquids to astronimical bodies let alone gas. so many questions !!

      I reckon they didn’t even bother 3d printing it. I think they just printed an image on paper and stuck it to the sky. When it goes below the horizon they scrape it off and put a new sticker up, with an image rendered from a slightly different angle, so it’s ready for the next night.
