Here's an amazing image from the inauguration of President Barack Obama. It's made up of 220 separate images. The resulting image is 59,783 X 24,658 pixels, or about 1.5 gigapixels. The software on gigapan.org allows you to zoom in on any part of the image. The image of President Obama to the left is a snapshot of a very small part of the whole image.The site is getting a lot of hits, thanks to a link from Andrew Sullivan, which is how I found it. So don't be surprised if the response is a little slow or if the link takes a long time to load.
