> The process took more than four hours, since the spacecraft had to change position for each individual photograph. In the final mosaics, the sun’s diameter is almost 8,000 pixels across. I'm guessing this is sort of equivalent to manual supersampling rather than combining adjacent (ie visually translated to the next subsquare of the photo) viewpoints? Four hours is a pretty short time for 48 million miles of distance. Edit: well considering orbital velocity I guess they probably just zigzag'd perpendicular to the orbital plane?
