On January 5th 2015, NASA
let out an image of the Andromeda galaxy, which is the closest galaxy to
us. They captured the image using the NASA/ESA Hubble Telescope once
again, but this time it’s taken to a whole new level. They took 411
images and put them together to create the largest image ever taken.
It’s a whopping 1.5 billion pixels and requires about 4.3 GB of disk
space!
The image takes you
through over 100 million stars and travels more than 40,000 light years.
It’s likely to make you feel like you are only a very, very small part
of a universe that we begin to understand the true size of as each day
passes.
There’s not much else to say other than sit back, watch and enjoy having your mind blown.
