Last week I think I had everybody pining for shiny new 4k monitors to display NASA’s stunning Hubble “photograph” of 100 million stars in the Andromeda Galaxy two million lightyears distant.
Well, Rob Griffiths did me one better. Actually, he did me 50 better:
Last week, I used the just-released Hubble Space Telescope images of the Andromeda galaxy to create a couple of desktop images for my Retina iMac. I liked the results so much that I spent some time collecting other suitable images from the Hubble site, and then cropping and/or scaling them to create interesting high-res desktop images. (I used Acorn for all the edits; it had no troubles, even with TIF images as large as 20,323×16,259!)
The end result is a collection of 50+ Retina iMac-sized (5120×2880) desktop wallpapers, courtesy of the Hubble Space Telescope.
If you’re a lucky owner of a 5k Retina iMac, or even a mere 4k monitor, I can’t urge you strongly enough to click over and take advantage of Rob’s generosity.
(Hat tip, Jim D.)
