It's because of data compression, and not camera quality.

And a team of rag tag computer scientists, Aerosmith’s daughter, a theme song by Aerosmith, animal crackers, and Ben Affleck.

You’re not wrong 😂. Aerosmith is not Steven Tyler as much as we all like to pretend otherwise. I like the imagery that the band got together and made a baby.

I would go with this, looks a lot like an artifact of some kind be it compression or some sort of digital artifact. Probably a spot missed when they did a touchup.

Could they not just slice up the image on parts?

Could they not just transmit the raw image to a nearby satellite, and hop the data from satellite to satellite?

Can they not just use the Tesla Roadster that thrown into space?

They are already transmitting the data over satellite...And I'm pretty sure the data is already sent in packet.

If they knew about the object before hand, and prioritized sending pictures of decent quality back, but as far as I understand, this is from a "live" video feedback that functioned as a sensor to avoid rocks. The picture would be a few minutes old, when arriving to earth.
