Our insignificance must surely be significant... NASA released the largest picture ever taken earlier this month, with a staggering 1.5 billion pixels, of the Andromeda Galaxy. We cannot load the picture, as it is 4.3 Gb in size...! To get an idea of how massive the picture is, youll need a 600 HD television screens to look at the whole image at one time. This YouTube fly-through video shows the detail of the picture captured by NASAs Hubble Space Telescope. The full image takes you through 100 million stars and travels more than 40,000 light-years. Each of those white dots is a sun, much like the sun that powers all life on Earth. https://youtube/watch?v=udAL48P5NJU
