"Tiny Camera Captures Blurry Earth Photo: Here's Why It Matters"

The European Space Agency has released a blurry, low-resolution image of Earth taken by a coin-sized camera on board the TRISAT-R CubeSat, a satellite the size of a shoebox. While high-resolution images of deep space have become the norm, this small camera serves a different purpose, providing ionizing radiation measurements. The image serves as a reminder that impressive photos can be captured with minimal equipment and spending, challenging the notion that only expensive telescopes or cameras are needed for astrophotography.
