This panorama of the Milky Way (our galaxy) was assembled from 4 wide field photographs. It shows what 1/2 of our galaxy looks like from the central core to the outer edge. This is as seen in the Northern Hemisphere, ranging from the constellations Scorpius at the South end, to Cassiopeia at the North end.
