Wouldn't 1k years just result in an over-exposed photo and thereby rendering it blank in the end? The article doesn't specify if the material can even hold out

Wouldn't 1k years just result in an over-exposed photo and thereby rendering it blank in the end? The article doesn't specify if the material can even hold out for that long.
- setr 3y agoEven if it wasn’t overexposed, it’s not like it’d end up as a single transparent house superimposed on its absence… you’re just going to end up either layers and layers of transparent objects and render it unparsable. Over a thousand years, probably the only thing that might hope to be interpretable is the actual geography

The longest exposure photo is about 8 years, and it looks quite good. https://www.cnn.com/style/article/can-eight-year-photo-intl-scli-gbr-scn/index.html https://www.cnn.com/style/article/can-eight-year-photo-intl-...
