Find 'The Universe' episode 9 where they go in-depth about alien galaxies. Tons of visuals.

Too bad that isn't what you'd really see with the naked eye - its a composite of information spanning the electromagnetic spectrum.

You think that's too bad? I think that's a virtue! We are among the first people ever to see so much of the EM spectrum. Think about it - we are seeing things that no generation before could have seen, something so beautiful and elegant that was invisible to everyone before us. I think that's amazing.

Any way to provide a direct, right click and select "Save Target As" link to the image?

The copyright info breaks the link and makes it impossible to just save, only load. And this college computer can't handle displaying a 314MB image. Any help?

At least in Firefox, I was able to right-click on the Accept button and Save As. It's downloading the file right now. Maybe it uses a cookie to determine allowing access to the file?
