It's slow because its web efficient and doesn't load the full image to everyone that logs on. It's probably about a gig compressed

Makes sense but when I double click to zoom its taking more than a minute to get anything clarified. Looking like I'm only getting around 80-100kb/s out of it. Anyway, no matter, still very fun to explore

That's mental. Reminded me that last week I had a student whose "persuasive essay" was about how the bible is literally all true and the big bang is bullshit which didn't happen, his proof was that the Bible is more trust-able.
I had a really hard time explaining to him how he might improve his essay without insulting his faith, ended up just saying he might want to take his essay to his pastor to discuss the topic since I figured even him would have a more reasonable view.

i downloaded the 1.6 gb version, so it's not the original, but still pretty impressive at 25,000 x 18,832 pixels
would make for a nice printout.
