Image quality Memes

The technology paradox strikes again! Somehow we went from crystal-clear Saturn photos in 1830 (which is hilariously impossible since photography was barely invented then) to modern CCTV footage that looks like it was captured by a potato during an earthquake. Security cameras with their grainy, pixelated footage make bank robbers look like Minecraft characters. Meanwhile, our space telescopes can spot a dust speck on Saturn's rings from a billion miles away! The universe works in mysterious ways—mostly by messing with our image resolution when we actually need it.
