- pavs 11y agoYou can see a lot of jagged edges on the left side of the higher resolution image: http://www.esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2015/08/msg-4_europe_s_latest_weather_satellite_delivers_first_image/15547768-1-eng-GB/MSG-4_Europe_s_latest_weather_satellite_delivers_first_image.jpg http://www.esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/ima...
- stargazer-3 11y agoGood catch! But I think the jagged edges there result from an arbitrary clipping of the brightness values, done to remove the "noise" pixels, i.e. to make the space look darker. If that's the case, it isn't the resolution that's to blame - just a post-processing (for public release) issue.
