Do you know what a webpage containing 8.1 nonillion pixels looks like? Now you can!
While there's a possibility one could find an even bigger web page, we doubt it.
The website at Deep Sky Frontier looks to be either some type of odd proof of concept, or just some very bored guys. Either way, it is an interesting website to visit. Be careful, you can easily get lost trying to scroll around in the field of stars!
" Page:1/1Q: How BIG is this page?
A: This page is 9 quadrillion pixels wide by 9 quadrillion pixels tall. Thus it contains a large number of pixels:
8,100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
otherwise known as 8.1 nonillion. In scientific notation, that's 8.1x10^30, hereafter shown in the form 8.1e30.
This means that the repeating background image has 5.4e28 stars on it-- about as many as there would be if our universe was multiplied to a million times it's current observable size.
Futhermore, at 77 pixels to the inch, this page takes up 3.4e18 square miles and is 1.844 billion miles on a side-- an area roughly equivalent to a section of the plane of our Solar System with the sun at the center and the orbit of Saturn on the outside edge (a square 22 AU on a side). That's about 17 billion times the surface area of the Earth.
