Wow. Armed with nothing more than a digital camera and oodles of time, photographer Serge Brunier has photographed the entire night sky. That’s every single star, northern and southern hemisphere, using a series of six-minute exposures that cumulatively add up to 120 hours of exposure time.
After stitching them together, the results is a final image that contains 40,000 x 20,000 pixels, or 800 million pixels. It is 4.42 GB in size. Then, he added data from deep-sky telescope.
Then, he stitched it all together into a flash movie that you can pan through, and zoom into.
