Giga-What?

Gigapan, a photographic technology created as a collaboration between Carnegie Mellon and NASA, was deployed at Yankee Stadium for th July 4 tilt between the Yanks and Red Sox (image here).

According to Sports Illustrated, users can magnify any detail from the facade of the new Yankee Stadium beyond leftfield to a fan with a Cracker Jack box. The photo was taken with a robotic camera over the course of 10 minutes and consists of 124 frames stitched together.

Here is my favorite part of the shot:

Fortunately, I didn't have to sit through a rain delay and watch my beloved Yanks get waxed by the Sox that day (the Yanks went on to beat them on the 5th and 6th, for the record) and actually made a tidy profit on the game. Thank you, StubHub!
