NASA | SDO's Ultra-high Definition View of 2012 Venus Transit

That's pretty neat! Only cost $817 million!

So, a little trivia...

What size image (in pixels) can the SDO produce if it is 8x that of HD TV?

I think I saw some dust specs on the lens! (they must use one heck of a large UV filter on that baby!).

Really an impressive show. Thanks for sharing.

PS. As for the pixel question....I believe the technical phrase for the answer would be "mucho grande"
