Here is a picture of the moon unlike any you've ever seen. It's 576 mega pixels (24000x24000 pixels). The resolution is so fine, that you can see the foot prints of astronauts worn into the lunar soil from past landings. It ends up being about 2ft/pixel. If you want the whole thing, free up 549MB of space on your hard drive and click here. Smaller version of the image after the break.

Cross Eyed Space Station
Remember when you were a kid and you looked at those books with the pretty patterns on each page where you crossed your eyes to reveal a 3D image? Well here's the same concept applied to a video of the ISS with docked space shuttle Discovery. Its taken from earth (somewhere in Germany) and you can acctually see the Space Station in 3D using your normal old shitty 8 year old monitor. Dust off your monitor, cross your eyes and go full screen after the break.
