    Sharpest large composite image ever taken of M31 - Andromeda Galaxy

    NASA

    3rd Party link stating - "For the record, it's a mammoth 1.5 billion pixel image (69, 536 x 22, 230) and requires about 4.3 GB disk space."

    No trees were harmed in the creation of this message. However, many electrons were displaced and terribly inconvenienced.

    Zoomable versions of the image:

    Hubblesite - With downloadable versions, uncropped versions and lots of info.

    SpaceTelescope - full screen zooming.
