For the sake of your data, I won't do it, but I absolutely could embed this image into a comment, and if you don't have much data, you could get screwed: https://www.eso.org/public/archives/images/large/eso1719a.jpg
It's a 1.3GB image of 3 nebulae. Its resolution is 93031x35412 which makes it nearly 3.3Gpix. Yes, that's gigapixels.

The original is 9.2GB.
There's also this 8.8Gpix 24.6GB Milky Way mosaic, but that's not available as JPEG in full-res: https://www.eso.org/public/images/eso1242a/
