GigaMoon: Astrophotographer Captures 13-Gigapixel Image of the Moon
Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy has released GigaMoon, a 13-gigapixel image of the Moon that reveals intricate details and textures.
The image is the result of almost a year of work by McCarthy and fellow astrophotographer Connor Matherne, who captured over 200,000 individual images using a custom-built telescope and camera system.
The resulting image is the most detailed and accurate representation of the Moon ever created, and allows viewers to explore the lunar surface in unprecedented detail.
GigaMoon is available for free download on McCarthy's website, and has been used by scientists and educators around the world. It is a testament to the power of citizen science and the human desire to explore and understand the world around us.
