Galactic Center of Milky Way: Gigapixel Panorama by Maciej Woloszka and Adam Jesionkiewicz
Astrography unveils one of the largest Earth-based views of the galaxy's center, filled with nearly 3 gigapixels of processed data and 4 million stars. This inspiring image captures the heart of the Milky Way and enhances any living space.
Unprecedented Details and Advanced Technology
The artist skillfully combined 150 unique pictures into a breathtaking mosaic that spans over 50 degrees in the night sky, showcasing millions of stars and various deep-sky objects. With its exceptional resolution, you can explore the different stages of a star's life within this single image.
Astonishing view and stellar life
From the dark patches of interstellar dust where new stars are born to the bright red emission nebulae where hot stars cause surrounding gas to glow, the picture encapsulates the transient nature of stellar life. You'll also witness open star clusters emerging as the stellar wind scatters the gas, and the red remnants of massive supernova explosions.
Admire the vastness and beauty!
Ideal for those fascinated by deep space explorations, astrophotographers, and anyone who appreciates the awe-inspiring beauty of the cosmos, this poster serves as both a stunning piece of art and a profound reminder of our place within the vast celestial tapestry.
Relax and appreciate the extraordinary diversity of stellar life captured in this singular image.
