High Res Photo Test, pictures of the Night Sky, from the Himalayas, the ISS, and 1 other place.

[St. Phatty]

First 2 pictures are the Night Sky, taken from the International Space Station.

First picture is 20 MB, obviously too big to upload, so I gave it the link and this is what it loaded.

Original is 4928 x 3280, reduced that to 1232 x 820. Saving it in medium JPG quality reduced file size to 134 kB.

Third Pic is taken in the Himalayas. How would you like to go swimming in that lake ? Bet it's pretty cold. 750 x 600 and only 100 kB.

Fourth picture is the Night Sky, taken from the Moon, during the Apollo mission.

This is the Official NASA photograph.

What happened to the Stars ? This pic was 973 x 973 and 152 kB. 3892 x 3892 and 2.9 MB when I started.
