My amazing wife sent me an amazing tweet this morning that has got me thinking big... But maybe not big enough.
The European Space Agency (when's the last time they put a man on the moon?) has released a 9-billion pixel photo of the 84 million stars at the core of the Milky Way Galaxy, and it's a stunner. Gaze upon this image and wonder at all the alien civilizations that could be lurking out there...
It's all so staggeringly big that I was beginning to think that my sense of scale couldn't possibly stretch any more... Then I went to the website of the European Southern Observatory to see the original image in its original size, and there, under this whacking 9 Gigapixel image, is a button that says...
'Click to enlarge.'
