editors usually request cover art image submissions from authors or use stock imagery (journal publishers don't usually pay artists for cover art which is weird)
Tecumseh Fitch, the editor of this special issue, chose to generate AI slop instead. He should know better

If you’re anxious about the aurora because “we didn’t use to have the Northern Lights this far south,” don’t be!
The sun’s just doing a normal solar cycle like usual. We just now have cameras in our pocket that can detect aurora, and social media to spread the word to get out looking!
