A new, expansive view of the Milky Way reveals our galaxy in unprecedented radio color
Astronomers from the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have created the largest low-frequency radio color image of the Milky Way ever assembled. This spectacular new image captures the Southern Hemisphere view of our Milky Way galaxy, revealing it across a wide range of radio wavelengths, the colors of radio light.
Our galaxy shines - even where there is no light. Those who look with radio waves see enormous veils of gas, magnetic fields and the ashes of exploded stars. With the project GLEAM-X, astronomers in Australia have now created the most detailed radio image of the Milk Band. (Continue reading)
