I'm confused as to how the circa 1997 camera on Cassini has HD resolution from a BILLION miles away from earth?

LOL

(and double LOL)

Reminds me of how NASA has been writing the word "SEX" in the clouds on some of the admittedly fake "blue marble" earth composites (fake photos) both from 2012 and 2015.

Triple LOL

You can read up on the Cassini's ISS here.

NASA was building HD imaging systems for mission specific tasks, not the consumer market, and deployed 4K cameras to observe the sun way before anyone heard of 4K at the local Costco.
