Milky Way. Mosaic of photographs of the Milky Way
Milky Way. Mosaic of photographs of the Milky Way, the spiral galaxy in which our solar system lies. Our Sun is believed to be around two-thirds of the way out from the centre in a small spiral arm. Galactic Centre lies at the centre of the image in the constellation Sagittarius. This is where the bulge of stars in the Milky Way is at its greatest, tapering away on either side. The image runs around the whole of the sky, so our view away from Galactic Centre is seen both at far left and at far right. Interstellar dust obscures much of the Galaxys central axis. The Milky Way is thought to be about 120, 000 light years across and to contain over 100 billion stars

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of our Milky Way galaxy. Composed as a mosaic of photographs, it offers a panoramic view that stretches across the entire sky. The Milky Way, a spiral galaxy where our solar system resides, is depicted in all its glory. Our Sun finds itself nestled two-thirds away from the galactic center within one of its smaller spiral arms. At the heart of this image lies the Galactic Centre, located in the constellation Sagittarius. Here, we witness an awe-inspiring concentration of stars forming a bulge that gradually tapers off on either side. However, much of this central axis remains obscured by interstellar dust particles. The vastness and grandeur of our Milky Way become apparent as we learn that it spans approximately 120,000 light years and hosts over 100 billion stars within its cosmic expanse. This breathtaking photograph not only captures the essence and magnificence of our galaxy but also serves as a reminder of humanity's place in the universe. With elements such as starry constellations and interstellar dust adding depth to this composition, it becomes evident why astronomy enthusiasts are drawn to this remarkable piece captured by Science Photo Library. It invites us to ponder upon the mysteries hidden within these celestial realms while appreciating their sheer splendor without any commercial intentions involved.
