In January 2015, NASA released the largest photo ever taken: a high-definition panoramic image of the Andromeda galaxy captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, which consists of 1.5 billion pixels. A zoomable version of the photo allows us to view our galactic neighbor up close and reminds us that we are but tiny specks in the vastness of the universe.
This photo also has an interesting connection to 16.00x: Prof. Hoffman was one of the astronauts on STS-61, the first Space Shuttle mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. It is thanks in part to his work that the Hubble has the precise optical systems necessary to capture such amazing images.
2015年1月，美国宇航局发布了迄今为止拍摄的最大的一张照片:一张由哈勃太空望远镜拍摄的仙女座星系的高清全景图，它由15亿像素组成。这张照片的放大版可以让我们近距离观察我们的银河系邻居，并提醒我们，在浩瀚的宇宙中，我们不过是微小的斑点。
这张照片也和16.00x有一个有趣的联系:霍夫曼教授是STS-61的宇航员之一，STS-61是第一个修复哈勃太空望远镜的航天飞机任务。在一定程度上多亏了他的工作，哈勃才有了捕捉如此惊人图像所必需的精确光学系统。
