Hubble's Largest Panorama Ever Showcases 200 Million Stars

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has released the largest ever photomosaic featuring over 200 million stars -- all of which are bright than our own Sun. It consists of over 600 overlapping Hubble images and 2.5 billion pixels. 'That is a huge number, yet only a fraction of the estimated one trillion stars in the Andromeda galaxy,' reports TechSpot. 'Many of Andromeda's less massive stars are beyond Hubble's sensitivity limit and thus, are not represented in the imaged.'

'NASA has multiple sizes of the panoramic available for download, including the full-size 203 MB image (42,208 x 9,870) and a more user friendly 9 MB variant (10,552 x 2,468).'
