Grand mosaic of the Milky Way is now larger than ever

Is there a higher resolution image of this available anywhere? The 7000 x 1150 one is nice, but I couldn't find a link to anything larger. It says the original is 120,000 x 18,000 so it was a little disappointing to have the available version not even fill the vertical resolution of my monitor.

Wow!!! I’d like to read more details about the PC and software he used. Besides the Photoshop that is mentioned, no other details about the system (cpu, ram, disk…).

A professional large photo plot of this would probably look seriously impressive.

This is stunning work. Bravo! I feel so small and insignificant right now. And that&#x27;s not a bad thing.

Apparently 100 billion stars in there. That is nuts.

Damn, I wish my engineering journal had drawings like that in it.

Question: What would it look like to be living on an electron, whizzing around a proton, inside a molecule, inside a living being?

Intense pareidolia a quarter of the way across, of a sci-fi warrior&#x2F;genie dude holding up a weapon.

Question: why are pictures taken from the space station showing really dark space ? The pictures of the mosaic have many stars and I guess the milkyway can be observed from earth too. So why all that black on the photos taken from space ? An issue with contrast ?

I would love to see this edited into some viewscreen images on the NCC-1701[-D] bridge.

Damn! So much out there that we might never be able to see.

Where is the Earth in this?
