NASA released the largest picture ever taken earlier this month, with a staggering 1.5 billion pixels, of the Andromeda Galaxy.

To get an idea of how massive the picture is, you'll need a 600 HD television screens to look at the whole image.

This YouTube fly-through video shows the detail of the picture captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. To date, the video has over 2.9 million page views.
