Description
The Milky Way panorama.
This magnificent 288-degree panoramic image, covering almost the entire southern and northern celestial sphere, reveals the cosmic landscape that surrounds Earth.
The plane of our Milky Way Galaxy, which we see edge-on from our perspective on Earth, cuts a luminous swath across the image. The projection places the viewer in front of our Galaxy with the Galactic Plane running horizontally through the image, almost as if we were looking at the Milky Way from the outside.
The general components of our spiral galaxy come clearly into view, including its disc, marbled with both dark and glowing nebulae, as well as the Galaxy’s central bulge and its satellite galaxies.
