Is this a solution they rolled on their own? Cause it's abysmal. I've seen Leaflet being used for gigapixel images and it's great, even if it seems unorthodox.

Leaflet is actually listed at [1], I believe it's totally orthodox :-)

OpenSeadragon, the one they're using, is also listed there. First on the list.

If you scroll down to the image carousel/gallery and click on an image, it directs you to a page where you can download a high-res jpeg (~100mb for the ultraviolet one).

While it works, the resolution is underwhelming and there's no scale.

The Sun's diameter is 109 times that of Earth, though you might as well round up to 110, or down to 100.

1.4 * 10^6 km vs. 14 * 10^3 km.

Would be great to see an earth or moon or country map outline for scale.

The Earth is...Slightly smaller, than one of the darker spots you see on the visible radiation image. The first one from the left...

not sure if its the server traffic or browser limitations but zooming and panning are quite slow and somewhat dent the awesomeness of this.

I don't experience those problems.
