I got a News From My Friend
That Hubble Space Telescope Has take a Picture which is 0f 700MB
& it the Sharpest picture till date

The sharpest image ever taken of the large "grand design" spiral galaxy M81 was released 9. June 2007 at the American Astronomical Society Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii.
A spiral-shaped system of stars, dust, and gas clouds, the galaxy's arms wind all the way down into the nucleus. Though the galaxy is located 11.6 million light-years away, the Hubble Space Telescope's view is so sharp that it can resolve individual stars, along with open star clusters, globular star clusters, and even glowing regions of fluorescent gas. The Hubble data was taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys in 2004 through 2006. This colour composite was assembled from images taken in blue, visible, and infrared light.

I have opened 600-700MB tiff files on My Intel 2.4 Processor with 512MB RAM
in 2005

Also have Currently opened 1GB Files in Photoshop it just takes 4-5 Min to open

PSD files takes long time but tiff doesnt take that much time

its not mine
I have seen in my dad's office & also worked on some images
Actually if you walk on the Roads of Mumbai, Delhi etc.
you can see Very Big Hoardings, Boards of Movies etc of 20-50 feet long
I hav done a Glow Sign Board Work for LG
it is not a Single Picture taken from camera but their are many Digital Images merged to make a design with texts & graphics
So finally after flattening it in photoshop for Final Printing
its size automatically becomes 600-700 MB sometimes even 1GB

^^ NO!! Absolutely NOT! I downloaded the 700 MB file, and its AWESOME! Too detailed! All that black part you see in the smaller image becomes a billion *bright* stars is the bigger image! Do give the big image a try if you have bandwidth to burn :)
