virus: Absolutely stunning!

If you really want to see something, and you have a high-bandwith
connection, go to this url and save the jpeg (the 60 MB one, not the
tiff) to your hard drive (I would avoid trying to view it in your
browser). Then use your favorite jpeg viewer (I like ACDSee) , and
wander (and I do mean wander) around it at 100% (or higher) resolution.
Take note of the seemingly infinite number of galactic shapes in the
early universe. Plus a bunch of other wierd crap.
Also note, even at 13 billion years distance, there are STILL
a few red-shifted objects (farther away) in the field.
Also, don't try this without a minimum of 256 to 512 MB of ram. Your
jpeg viewer will take a dump on your foot!
Absolutely stunning!

Indeed!!
It's also kinda neat to adjust the gamma and the color settings and all, and
then turn out the lights in the room while panning across the image.
Quite a beaut there, Walter.
Thank's for the post! :]
