Something has been done to it, since the image claims it has been taken by a
Pentax K10D, which is a 10.75MP camera.

I'd guess it was a panoramic shot, maybe taken by a very high resolution camera
(since edges on the magnified parts are as sharp as those on the shrunken
parts), then conformally transformed (since there are a lot of straight lines
going to circles and other straight lines staying straight) scaled down and
JPEGged.

Don't know PhotoShop well enough to know if it will do the conformal
transformation. You might need something like Matlab.
