NASA's largest photo ever!

Hey guys, I found a video going over NASA's photo they released on the 5th. The picture alone is 4.3gb! The photo is 69536 pixels across by 22230 pixels down. This is not only the largest photo ever taken, its the most detailed look at the andromeda galaxy that we have ever seen. I found this video accompanying it, and it really puts the size of the universe in perspective. Awesome.
