    Ah yea, I shouldn't have linked to Threads (it was just the first result I found to see the full photo). I replaced the link with a better one.

  That's... honestly kinda underwhelming. You can't even see any stripes, it's just a vague blob. I guess the contrast was just too much for the Gameboy camera?

    It means a lot more if you held one of these in your hands new before you were old enough to drive (or, in my case, read about it in nintendo power, but only saw it behind the glass case at Target)

      I've used a gameboy camera recently. It took some lovely pictures once it was adjusted properly. I just suspect that there might have been problems with dynamic range etc that made it particularly difficult to take a picture of jupiter?

      Sorry, but I had a game boy camera in 1998 and it was underwhelming back then too. I was in the third grade.

        Yes, the lack of whelm in all cases is what makes it impressive that it worked at all in this case.

  Thank you. From the posted article, it took me to a YouTube video, which mentioned a Popular Science article[0], which I found looking at the history in BlueSky… yet none of that had the actual photo. After all that running around, it’s quite underwhelming. I suppose the headline and the process is better/more interesting than the picture, and they knew it.
