You’ve Never Seen The Milky Way Look Quite Like This

Experience the Milky Way in a brand new light.

On Wednesday, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) unveiled a stunning new image of the Milky Way’s galactic plane taken by the APEX telescope in Chile’s Atacama Desert.

A composite of more than 700 observations captured by the telescope, it’s the most detailed image ever created of our galaxy from the Southern hemisphere, and the first time that the southern Milky Way has been shown at the submillimeter wavelengths between infrared light and radio waves http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/milky-way-apex-telescope_us_56ceb930e4b0871f60ea2706?ir=Science&section=us_science&utm_hp_ref=science Captured by the APEX telescope, it’s the most detailed image of our galaxy ever captured from the Southern hemisphere.
