This Viral 195-Gigapixel Photo Has To Be Seen To Be Believed

These amazing 24.9-billion pixel photos really have to be believed. The image that went viral on Twitter a few days ago is truly incredible for itself. Select any part of the photo to zoom in and zoom out then zoom in a few more, then some more. Despite being at the top of the skyscraper, you will be able to create individual blades of grass.

Incredible panorama can be seen here and honestly, we can’t stop playing with it. There’s no part of the picture that you can’t see in ridiculous detail. We’re not the only ones who can’t stop looking at the city. After it went viral, many Twitter users zoomed in on what they could find

And of course, people found themselves looking for another person in an embarrassing situation, the most embarrassing of which seems to be that this person is on a nose-picking moped. Luckily no one has yet found the unfortunate couple who have not stopped their blindness.

According to Mashable, the image was commissioned by the government in Shanghai and taken by BigPixel. The team has taken pictures of cities and other huge beaches shot with billions of pixels, but for the first time in Shanghai they have created a panorama using hundreds of billions of pixels, and the difference is incredible.

The team has created several more wonderful (if a little smaller) panoramas with an interesting view of North Korea. Cities that may surprise you include Shenzhen, Lhasa, and Macau. Prepare to lose a good week of your time.
