The site includes guides to the Sharpless, Images, descriptions, and references to the scientific literature are available for many objects, containing a vast amount of information on objects found within about 10 thousand parsecs (some 30 thousand light years) from our Sun. a face-on set of maps showing what our galaxy might look like from an interstellar spaceship, including the distances and positions of more than 8 thousand bright stars, star clusters, nebulae and giant molecular clouds.a Google maps interface, the Milky Way Explorer, showing what our galaxy would like if we had the eyes to perceive the sky at infrared, microwave and radio frequencies, and.There are two sets of Milky Way maps available on this site: If you would like to learn about the latest developments, read the Galaxy Map blog or follow the Galaxy Map twitter feed. This is not only a guide to the maps on this site and how they were constructed, but includes a growing amount of information about the key scientists mapping the Milky Way and some of their most exciting discoveries. If you are new to this site, you may want to start with the section on the basic plan of the Milky Way and take a look at some of the other chapters in Our Galactic Region. Atlas Geografico Del Peru' stamped in gold on the spine.Galaxy Map brings together the latest scientific results mapping our home galaxy, the Milky Way.
