Photopic Sky survey

Heya IIS-ers,

This may have been shared before, not sure.

This is one of the most incredible views of our galaxy I've ever seen, absolutely blew me away, the amount of work which has gone into this. 37,440 exposures taken from all over the world, stitched together in one amazing view.

Yep, but it's one of those images you never tire of looking at.

It's good to see it pop up every now and then for another look.

Cheers

I figured it probably would have been on here before, a quick search didn't find it, but i didn't really look too hard

Nonetheless, its still a beautiful picture, sorry to those who've seen it several times before
