That's pretty cool... I scrolled around some, and found these lines... zoom in on them, they're weird... I wonder if it is bad data, or a galaxy on edge, or what? http://tinyurl.com/3k2jzpa-Mike

Hmmm....look too long to be galaxy's on edge, so I would guess probably bad data, maybe asteroids, if that's the asteroid belt....I went down and to the left, and you can get a pretty good breakdown on how big the pictures are, that are "stitched" together, and they look longer than those, which is what leads me to believe bad data.
Good eye, I hadn't gotten that "up close and personal", to pick something out like that. I did have to zoom out a bit, from your link, to get the picture, then I could zoom in again. Might be this ancient computer, though. It's ONLY for i'net cruisin', and not very good even for that, any more. More like a paperweight...

Satellites generally map data in long panoramic strips, that are stitched back together to form a mosaic picture.
