A new milestone

We are very happy to pass a major milestone; there are now more than 25,000 publicly viewable GigaPans on this website. Congratulations to everyone. Searches across all manner of terms yield outstanding images and snapshots, and for this everyone should be proud.

Buenos Aires time capsule

A wonderfully creative lab in Argentina is doing a Time Capsula project for the Argentinian government because their country is celebrating its 200th anniversary next year. As part of this, they are taking some outstanding GigaPans of Argentina. The collection is really well worth looking at. The tag is "capsula2210" and I have enjoyed looking both at the most popular view as well as the largest panoramas from the lab. Enjoy.

Darwin's Darkest Hour

Announcing NOVA's Darwin's Darkest Hour. The show airs tonight on PBS, and concurrent with this WGBH/NOVA has released an interactive website about the Galapagos Islands. Thanks to Randy Sargent and the GigaPan team working with WGBH, we are very proud to show GigaPan panoramas of the Galapagos Islands integrated into their interactive multimedia platform. A special thanks also goes out to Bruce Perry and his wonderful GigaPanning that made this possible. Enjoy.

5 Gigapixel Manual pano!

Congratulations to Zoran who posted a five billion pixel panorama inside Macedonia. The really amazing part is that he put this panoarama together manually, using no robot. Very impressive. Thank you to Kilgore for making us aware of this upload.

NASA piece on GigaPan

Thanks to our friends at NASA/Ames, we've been notified that GigaPan is a featured story on the latest NASA 360 program. You can listen to it here.

Half Terapixel Recognition

Thanks to the observations of our friend Kilgore, I'm happy to congratulate Ron Schott for having established a whole new record. He has uploaded more than half a terapixel of GigaPan data to the site now. And his average GigaPan size is more than one gigapixel. Few can make that claim. Congratulations Ron!

A new first

OnOrbit has a nice article about the highest GigaPans ever taken from the surface of the earth, thanks to Scott Parazynski- both an astronaut and now an Everest climber.
