Now I know. Thanks, Maksutov.

You're welcome.
Glad to be of some help.
Remember pareidolia when yet another CT, HB, et al, comes here with a picture they say proves some outlandish claim.
What usually follows is a bunch of conclusions based on a photo (usually second or third generation, not that the JPEG artifacts would keep them from their claims), from which the HB, CT, et al, avers to the derivation of information about materials, power sources, dynamics (including thermal), manufacturing methods, structural engineering, environmental controls, propulsion, guidance systems, and a host of other applications within the realm of space science and engineering. And often even biology.
But, once we ask for details, they typically (100% rate so far) fall on their uninformed faces.
