Our Galaxy at 648MP

Quote:
Piecing together 3000 individual photographs, a physicist has made a new high-resolution panoramic image of the full night sky, with the Milky Way galaxy as its centerpiece. Axel Mellinger, a professor at Central Michigan University, describes the process of making the panorama in the forthcoming issue of Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific

Interactive Image

Pretty cool stuff. 22 months in the making. Picture takes a while to load zoomed in, but worth it.

If anyone is interested in distributed computing, there is a project that helps amp our Milkyway. http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/ I put my machines on it from time to time.
