Last Supper in Digitalness

From the BBC: "Last Supper gets 16bn pixel boost"
A 16 billion pixel image of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper has been posted on the internet, giving art lovers a detailed view of the 15th Century work.

The image is 1,600 times more detailed than those taken with a typical 10 million pixel digital camera.

some interesting tech in here, it also speaks to the fact that eventually (thanks to pollution) this might be the only way to see the fresco/painting soon.
