CNN gave a fairly detailed explanation of how this composite picture worked. Apparently it is made up of thousands of individual pictures. They use some sort of central reference point and create the large picture. Then when you zoom or click on any part of the larger picture you get some of the individual pics. A creative way to do pics for sure. And of course it is all controlled by a powerful computer. Very interesting process.

Wish I'd paid more attention when they were going over the details!
