It is so great to have community members that take with so much serious the challenge of georeferencing the Hello World picture from Artemis II. A promise is a promise: GDAL 3.13 will add that georeferencing automatically 🥳

@EvenRouault Thanks for the fun challenge and thanks for all you do for the OSGeo community!

@EvenRouault That's a cool community effort, but the fix seems like a hack. Hard coding image dimensions and filename? I flag this in review.

@aljazmerzen Hack or rather... Easter Egg :-) But how could we do better ? The EXIF parameters or other metadata included in the image provided by NASA aren't enough.

@EvenRouault For an easter egg (hah nice timing), i guess it's fine. Maybe compare against the hash of the image? Or against a very scaled down image?

@aljazmerzen Too much work for an easter egg. Checking image filename + dimensions is enough IMHO to be reasonably confident it is the one we expect and avoid false positives.

@EvenRouault Ok, LGTM, approved
