Space photographer shares 778-megapixel images of moon and here’s how it looks
Popular Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy recently took to his official Instagram account and shared a detailed 778-megapixel image of the moon. In the post, he termed the image as one of the most detailed images of his career.
McCarthy sells prints of his astrophotography through his online store, but a section of his website notes he doesn’t treat it as a way to make a living.
“I keep the prices low to make sure anyone interested in my images has a way to hang them on their wall.” He also says any money he makes from his images goes straight to upgrading his photography gear.
McCarthy has captured images of a variety of heavenly bodies, from comets to distant galaxies. And he’s had other photos go viral in the past.
In the Instagram post, McCarthy included an explanation of how he created the image. He also posts tips and tutorials on his Instagram account, @cosmic_background.
Here is how the moon looks from the 778-megapixel lenses in McCarthy’s camera.

Amritsar (PTI): Former president Ram Nath Kovind on Friday said that with digital transformation, economic reforms and a strong focus on the ease of doing business, India is moving towards becoming a global economic powerhouse.
He was speaking after inaugurating the 19th edition of the Punjab International Trade Expo (PITEX) in Amritsar.
The former president said that this 19th edition of PITEX is being organised at a time when India is recognised as one of the fastest-growing large economies in the world.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the event organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) the former president, while referring to Punjab, said the state is a living example of courage, sacrifice and enterprise.
"The spiritual light of Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) inspires peace and humanity across the world. The heritage of Punjab is deep and inspiring," Kovind said, according to a statement issued by the PITEX.
The former president congratulated the PHDCCI for hosting the 19th edition of PITEX and suggested that the chamber should expand PITEX outside Punjab.
He proposed that a similar event should also be held in New Delhi.
