Galaxy, Mellinger
Our own Galaxy is interesting in all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. With our eyes we can see many clusters of stars and the dust lanes that run through the disk. The dust is warm and so shines brightly at infra-red wavelengths, while we can look straight through it with radio telescopes, peering right into the heart of our Galaxy.

This impressive map shows the Milky Way in the optical part of the electromagnetic spectrum, as seen with the human eye. It was taken as a series of photographs by Axel Mellinger which he then stitched together to create a mpa of the entire Galaxy.
