Milky way galaxy, artwork

Milky Way galaxy. Computer artwork of the Milky Way galaxy, which contains our solar system. The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy. It has a nucleus (yellow) of old stars at its centre. Around this nucleus, but 10, 000 to 16, 000 light years away, is a bright molecular ring of young hot stars and star forming regions. The spiral arms extend outwards from this ring. The total diameter of the galaxy is thought to be 100, 000 light years

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking beauty of our very own Milky Way galaxy. Created through computer artwork, it provides a mesmerizing glimpse into the vastness and complexity of our universe. At its core lies a brilliant yellow nucleus composed of ancient stars, emitting an ethereal glow that captivates the viewer's imagination. Radiating outward from this central hub are magnificent spiral arms, stretching across unimaginable distances. These spiraling arms house countless star-forming regions and young hot stars, illuminating the cosmic canvas with their vibrant energy. The molecular ring encircling the nucleus adds to the spectacle, creating a vivid contrast between old and new stellar formations. With an estimated diameter of 100,000 light years, this galactic masterpiece is truly awe-inspiring. Its sheer size serves as a reminder of humanity's place in the grand scheme of things – mere specks within an infinite expanse. The image evokes wonder and curiosity about what lies beyond our solar system. It invites us to contemplate the mysteries that lie within these celestial wonders: gravitational forces shaping galaxies, planets orbiting distant stars, and astrophysical phenomena yet to be fully understood. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this extraordinary sight in all its glory for us to admire and appreciate. This print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity in depicting such marvels and nature's boundless creativity on display throughout our cosmos.
