Download and check this out. Remember each not a star, but a galaxy. Stitched photos from Hubble.

EDIT: If someone wants a subset, you can get smaller files here.

Because I am a man, I downloaded the TIFF file. Gosh. Some of those look like they are absolutely massive.

The tiff file is appearntly to big for me to view in either windows picture and fax viewer or paint. I can open it in WPAFV but it is really scaled down. If I try to expand it to the original size is says drawing of image failed. Probably because the image alone is larger than the amount of video ram I have!

Deep Sky pics are always very very impressive. If you want to feel small again download Celestia (just google it) and play a little around with it (esp. zooming out of your galaxy). Really amazing if you think about it...
