I think "hi-res photo" is an understatement. 1.5 BILLION pixels! Thats insane. A single photo that uses over 4gb of disk space!
 
yeah, in less than one pixel lol

shit probably in a billionth of a pixel.
 
Make sure you save it from the nasa site --- our hosted copy is compressed.

 
150mb wide view of the Quintet

Together, the five galaxies of Stephan’s Quintet are also known as the Hickson Compact Group 92 (HCG 92). Although called a “quintet,” only four of the galaxies are truly close together and caught up in a cosmic dance. The fifth and leftmost galaxy, called NGC 7320, is well in the foreground compared with the other four. NGC 7320 resides 40 million light-years from Earth, while the other four galaxies (NGC 7317, NGC 7318A, NGC 7318B, and NGC 7319) are about 290 million light-years away. This is still fairly close in cosmic terms, compared with more distant galaxies billions of light-years away. Studying such relatively nearby galaxies like these helps scientists better understand structures seen in a much more distant universe.
