Astronomy Wednesday

    The view is breathtaking!  

Scoping out the Milky Way

The MSNBC.com article (here) describes it as a panorama. ANAICT, it's what we would see if we were planet-sized and gazing towards the center of the Milky Way from here. With the background light from the earth subtracted out, and then the light of all these stars and galaxies enhanced by a thousand times or so. . All I know is that it's cool as heck. Even when I time- and dimension-hop, I don't get to see scenes like this.
