View of our Milky Way galaxy
The Milky Way. Map of the central region of our galaxy, seen from a tilted angle. The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy with a short bar (yellow-white) at centre and a diameter of about 100, 000 light years. It contains about 15 billion stars. Molec- ular clouds (orange) and bright nebulae (purple) populate the galaxys spiral arms. Molecular clouds consist of molecules and dust, and are associated with regions of star formation. Nebulae are formed by hydrogen lit up and ionised by nearby young, hot stars. Clouds of neutral hydrogen are in yellow. Based on locations of 1500 stars, nebulae and other objects, the Henbest/Baum map of the galaxy was published in 1994

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing view of our very own Milky Way galaxy. From a tilted angle, the central region of the galaxy is beautifully mapped out, revealing its intricate features. The Milky Way, a spiral galaxy, boasts a remarkable short bar at its center depicted in yellow-white hues. With an astonishing diameter spanning about 100,000 light years, this celestial wonder hosts an astounding 15 billion stars. The galactic arms are adorned with vibrant splashes of color - orange molecular clouds and purple bright nebulae. These molecular clouds consist of molecules and dust particles that play a crucial role in star formation within their associated regions. Nebulae, on the other hand, are formed by hydrogen gas illuminated and ionized by young and hot neighboring stars. In this stunning visual representation captured by Science Photo Library's Henbest/Baum map published in 1994, we can also observe clusters of neutral hydrogen clouds portrayed in yellow tones. This comprehensive map was meticulously created based on the precise locations of 1500 stars along with nebulae and various other objects within our vast cosmic neighborhood. Immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur of our Milky Way through this extraordinary print that encapsulates the wonders of science, astronomy, cosmology, and the enigmatic nature of spiral galaxies like ours.
