Originally designed to study the outer planets of the {{w|Solar System}}, it is now several decades into an extended mission beyond Pluto. The Voyager probe has made history for passing many milestones of our solar system. |
When images are compressed by a {{w|lossy compression}} format (e.g. {{w|JPEG}}), visual artifacts are created. Randall here is suggesting that the probe has passed the artifacts as if the artifacts were an actual feature of the solar system rather than a consequence of our technology. The banding lines he has drawn are commonly seen in old images with low bit depth. | When images are compressed by a {{w|lossy compression}} format (e.g. {{w|JPEG}}), visual artifacts are created.
