It is strange sometimes what qualifies as an “astronomy picture” to NASA...

I see Yoda’s head on the top plane and an intesecting plane coming in at an angle just below his head. Damn my LSD just wore off. Can’t see anything but colored wigglies now.

60 (horizontal) x 50(vertical) x 256 (possible colors) = 768,000 bits

I haven't wrapped my head around the holographic description, but this math is just sloppy. If there are 256 possible colors per pixel, then you only have 8 bits per pixel not 256. Thus the math is 60 x 50 x 8 = 24,000 bits.

Took me a while to see the teapot. You actually have to focus past the picture.

Next NASA will put up an ink blot, telling the white observers they’re racist if they can’t decipher it...
