Striking picture alright, but probably AI generated.

Maybe not. We get similar skies here too.

Ours aren't as uniform because the hills stir things up a bit.
Earth is too good to be accidental.

I tend to think it *is* accidental, but we've evolved to find it good.

We have water at its triple point, and that makes rivers, clouds, fog,
snow, ice, rainbows. Water is itself a very cool chemical.
Our atmosphere is thick enough to support flight but clear enough to
see the stars.
Gravity is just right for playing tennis but not being squashed flat.
Radiation levels are not deadly.
Not bad.
