Our Solar System in 30 Mega Pixels!

Incredible picture.

The picture is 18mb in size, so it might take a while to load. I think its an artists interpretation, but nevertheless its awesome.

it might take a while to load.

Indeed, it's loading a row of pixels at a time. I hope it's worth the wait.

Save to PC, resize in Photoshop or similar

The image is 30000x1000 so if you have 30 monitors next to each other each running 1280x1024 there will be no need to resize at all

It's not even the original size as you can't read the text, also, why is the 2001 space station there?

 

[digipeep]

Also this is only a fraction of the true size of the Solar System, the solar system goes out to at least 1 light year where the hypothesized Oort Cloud is and that would stretch the image to around 3000000x1000 or at least another 1,000 times wider than that image shows.

Your welcome to do your own digging.

Sorry.

Because it orbits the earth:

It is the original, right click save as, then open in windows image viewer and click actual size.

Thanks, but you should have embedded it, instead of linking to it

From 2001: A Space Odyssey?

Yup, it's Space Station V orbiting the earth.

The Orion and Discovery are two fictional spacecraft.
