The image is a comparative display of satellite imagery of an island, shown in three different levels of resolution: 250 meters, 1 kilometer, and 4 kilometers. The left panel shows the island with high resolution at 250 meters, where small details like individual cumulus clouds are clearly visible. The middle panel displays a lower resolution of 1 kilometer, where details are more blurred, and small features are averaged with their surroundings. The right panel shows the lowest resolution at 4 kilometers, where the image is highly pixelated, making small objects indistinguishable. The water surrounding the island appears dark blue, and the land is green with scattered white clouds. Each panel is labeled at the top with the respective resolution in bright yellow text.

Transcribed Text:

At very high resolutions, small objects such as individual cumulus clouds can be seen. 250-meter means that each pixel in the image spans 250x250 meters.

As resolution decreases, each pixel is an average of a larger area. Small features which occupy less than a pixel in areal coverage are averaged in with their surroundings.

At very low resolutions, small objects such as individual cumulus clouds cannot be seen. As resolution decreases, entire "broken" cloud fields can fade into the background.
