I was looking for this image my friend told me about, but I cant find, it was a super high res image taken of a galaxy, the image itself was like a gig or two, has anyone else heard of it?

That 200MB image requires 600MB of spare memory to open in MS Paint. Wow.

And I'm sure we all have monitors to display the kind of detail in that image. Probably need a $5k monitor like they use at the hospitals for the dicom images.
