This image is one of my favorite images of space in recent memory. I've tried to play around with the raw data from the telescope (which is in .tiff format) but I couldn't do it. So far I've made a couple of upscaled images using AI, I might get a print and put it somewhere in my home

well, I put on my thinking cap and came up with an image area of 0.12 square parsecs at the distance of Sag*, so roughly an image span of 0.3pc, or about a light-year or 70k astronomical units, if my ciphering is on track.
