Part holiday card, part “death star” homage, this year’s collection of kid pics was initially inspired by zero g's popular "Star Wars" collage.

I started out messing around with some of last year's pics and pulling groups of them together. I didn't want the resolution to be limiting and before long had stitched together about 150 images in a huge 6x6 mosaic using about active 75 layers. (No offense intended to the friends/family diminished and/or skewed near the edges of the sphere.)

The ultraviolet image of the Sun comes from the TRACE Observatory. The Earth was downloaded from NASA’s spectacular Blue Marble mosaic. The sphere effect results from a simple Adobe CS3/photoshop filter.

This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

So glad to have inspired this beaut ornament!

In Star Wars context it's very much like the Death Star! ;)

Which reminds me of the chorus of "We Three Kings Of Orient Are"...or my version at least!

"Death Star thunders, Death Star fights
Death Star lasers take big bites
Grand Moff leading, Rebels bleeding
Lighting up the stellar nights."

great image. I'd love to know how you did it. Was the whole image sphere created with a Photoshop filter or just the curvature?
