Top 100 Hubble Images

Published by Eric under Images Edit This

Today I spent way too much time downloading massive images from the Top 100 Hubble Space Telescope Images archive. These things are truly X-BOX HUGE.

The largest one of them all is the image pictured below. Uncompressed it comes in at a spectacular 444.73MB. I guess it’s fitting since it is described as the “Largest ever galaxy portrait.”

Eh, big, but I’ve seen bigger.

Some beautiful stuff there. And don’t let the Top 100 thing keep you from checking out the other stuff there. Lots of other good images in the full archive.
