It looks like a cheeseburger surrounded by multi-colored french fries.

It is strange sometimes what qualifies as an “astronomy picture” to NASA...

Only one of those things I ever got was the Hardees star in their TV ad.

Use a tablet, not a computer. Hold it close to your nose. Relax your eyes and focus on something far away at the horizon (while still looking at the screen). Slowly move the screen away from your nose while keeping your eyes focused far away. Do not shift your eye focus to the screen. You may have to repeat this a few times, but once, suddenly, you will see the 3D teapot.
These were popular about 20 years ago.

Once you get it, you can make the teapot pretty much appear on demand while holding the tablet about 8” to 10” off your nose. It will suddenly pop into view.
These “holographic” images are really weird.

You have to learn to focus past the picture.
IOW as if the picture were further out from where it actually is.

I see Yoda’s head on the top plane and an intesecting plane coming in at an angle just below his head. Damn my LSD just wore off. Can’t see anything but colored wigglies now.

60 (horizontal) x 50(vertical) x 256 (possible colors) = 768,000 bits I haven't wrapped my head around the holographic description, but this math is just sloppy. If there are 256 possible colors per pixel, then you only have 8 bits per pixel not 256. Thus the math is 60 x 50 x 8 = 24,000 bits.

Took me a while to see the teapot. You actually have to focus past the picture.
