Astronomy Fun Fact:

Time is budgeted for use of cutting-edge telescopes. This image was not exposed all at once but rather 11 1-day exposures were made over a period of time from October 15, 1999 to December 23, 2000.

The image is 16 arcminutes per side. That's about ½ the width of the full moon.
