That's the GPs point - the term '4K' doesn't really indicate quality
- klodolph 9y agoIt doesn’t denote quality but quality is the connotation.
- amelius 9y agoIn my interpretation, it indicates that the picture contains at least 4000 pixels belonging to the moon.
- jankeymeulen 9y agoPedantically this could be a "0.085k" image then.
- arrrg 9y agoAny reasonable reader will assume that the Moon has to fill a significant portion of the frame and be well exposed as well as sharp for this headline to be meaningful. I agree it’s not precise and I also agree it’s not a generally very useful way to talk about resolution, but I think the authors were looking for a way to convey high resolution and quality while using terms anyone might have heard and have a rough understanding of.
