For a huge mosaic just download the ~ 80 Mb Jpegs of the mosaic at the Spitzer website & stitch and/or print the files. Great room paper. Can't wait for the remaining 240 degree mosaic !

I wouldn't mind purchasing a replica poster of this, say about 10 to 14 feet wide. Help me cover up a few marks in a wall

There will be just a few hard copies of the big display produced. One poster will soon be on display at the Griffith Observatory and Planetarium in Los Angeles. Also, digital versions will be available for use by museums and researchers.

Any plans of taking this on tour, as with other exhibitions, or would it be down to individual institutions to print off such a damn large image?
