In the meantime I can still enjoy the pics from the Viking landers, especially stuff like this:

Not a bad way to spend 20.000 dollars on a studio with such a backgrounds.

Shame their budget was a total 189 bilion...

Biggest pictures I've been able to track down are from the Hubblesite Newscenter (http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/), but they're "only" around 2000x1500 or like the one in the link, 5302x3805 (http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/galaxy/spiral/2007/15/image/a/warn/).

The pics from the site I remember were 100-150MB TIFFs. Those in the link are still awesome though. Amazing detail.
