2.5 gigapixels: Milky Way Image Unveiled

By Ari Salomon | Published: December 6, 2009

Bigger isn’t always better but in this case…

120 feet (37 meters) long, 3 feet (1 meter) tall at its sides and 6 feet (2 meters) tall in the middle…

The large image was made from stitching together 800,000 individual pictures taken by Spitzer, for a total of 2.5 billion infrared pixels.
