I had this bookmarked for the longest time, since 2011. I do keep a copy on my HDD's. I find this image in the radical list of things.

BEWARE:
If downloaded and opened, make sure your system can handle it. The 500MB image is very resource intensive.

I got 8gig of high performance ram and it eats every little bit opening this image.

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Tried to open it in my system. It doesn't even opens. Seems that I might need to split the image in to smaller parts and then open them. Anyway... it is amazing... at this resolution.

Yes , I am curious about 500MB size of the  image . I wonder if there are any this much size images of other planets as well. Looks like will have to use some Google Fu skills .

I'd love to see more as well. Also, I'd have to hook up to a 40-80" screen HD tv to really enjoy the image/images as 1280x1024 monitor SUCKS.

Even 1080p monitor sucks for this kind of image. Agree about the 80" screen TV.

What sort of computer (ram/cpu) are we talking about if I want to view/scroll/zoom this 24,000 x 24,000 image?

Here is a 1400 x 1400 version if anyone is interested:

Ultra-HD will be able to do justice to this image.
