This panoramic view encompasses the entire sky as seen by Two Micron All-Sky Survey

This panoramic view encompasses the entire sky as seen by Two Micron All-Sky Survey. The measured brightnesses of half a billion stars (points) have been combined into colors representing three distinct wavelengths of infrared light: blue at 1.2 microns, green at 1.6 microns microns, and red at 2.2 microns. This image is centered on the core of our own Milky Way galaxy, toward the constellation of Sagittarius. The reddish stars seemingly hovering in the middle of the Milky Ways disc, many of them never observed before, trace the densest dust clouds in our galaxy. The two faint smudges seen in the lower right quadrant are our neighboring galaxies, the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking panoramic view captures the vast expanse of the night sky as seen through the lens of the Two Micron All-Sky Survey. The image showcases a mesmerizing tapestry of half a billion stars, their measured brightnesses transformed into vibrant colors representing different wavelengths of infrared light. In this awe-inspiring composition, we find ourselves immersed in the heart of our very own Milky Way galaxy, gazing towards the constellation Sagittarius. The most captivating feature lies at the center - a cluster of reddish stars seemingly suspended within our galaxy's disc. These celestial objects, previously unseen by human eyes, trace intricate patterns amidst dense dust clouds that permeate our galactic neighborhood. As we explore further, two faint smudges emerge in the lower right quadrant; these are none other than our neighboring galaxies - the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. This extraordinary photograph not only offers us a glimpse into cosmic wonders but also serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our universe. It encompasses various fields such as astronomy and astrophysics while evoking feelings of curiosity and wonderment. With no people present in this scene, it reminds us that we are but tiny specks within an immense cosmos waiting to be explored.
