At this scale one would see 1/3 of the surface of planet jupiter. The scale is 0.028 arc seconds per pixel; this resolution corresponds to an optical telescope of 4m aperture at an wavelength of 650nm. The (synthetic) resolution of this image is about twice of the theoretical limit of the Hubble Space Telescope in visible light.
This corresponds to 400m focal length or 8000x photographic zoom.
