Photo –“The Infrared Milky Way” This Mollweide projection encompasses the entire sky as seen by the Two Micron All-Sky Survey.
The measured brightnesses of half a billion stars have been combined into colors representing three distinct wavelengths of infrared light: blue at 1.2 microns, green at 1.6 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 Way's 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.
