Great pic!

Too bad we can’t get a real pic of our own Milky Way Galaxy. I suppose we could put a camera on a rocket, and launch it outside the galaxy, but we probably wouldn’t get any results for 1,250,000 or so years. lol

Majestic nebulae and stars of our Milky Way Galaxy stretch across this panoramic image of the entire night sky. At full resolution, the 5 gigapixel mosaic was stitched together from over 37,000 images, the result of a season following, year long effort and 60,000 travel miles in search of still dark skies in the American west and the western Cape of South Africa.
