zoom in on the dark areas, top right... it's... all stars...

 

i feel like a dog looking at a computer. i can see it, but i can't understand it...

 

This image, captured with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, is the largest and sharpest image ever taken of the Andromeda galaxy — otherwise known as M31.

 

You would need more than 600 HD television screens to display the whole image.

 

It is the biggest Hubble image ever released and shows over 100 million stars and thousands of star clusters embedded in a section of the galaxy’s pancake-shaped disc stretching across over 40 000 light-years.

Image is awesome but the flash interface is shit. Everytiem I zoom in or pan some 25-50% of the tiles fail to load at that scale.

 

Every time I zoom in, the whole thing has to reload :wtf:
