Milky Way, optical image. The Milky Way is our own galaxy
Milky Way, optical image. The Milky Way is our own galaxy. Because Earth lies in one of its spiral arms, we look into the central mass of stars and see the galaxy as a band of light crossing the sky. There are numerous nebulae (pink) visible here. The brightest, just left of centre, is the Lagoon Nebula (M8). Emission nebulae such as these glow red due to ionisation of their hydrogen gas by radiation from hot young stars embedded within

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of our very own galaxy, the Milky Way. As Earth resides in one of its spiral arms, we are granted a unique perspective into the heart of this celestial wonder. Stretching across the sky like a luminous band of light, it unveils countless nebulae that paint the cosmic canvas with shades of pink. Amongst these nebulae, the most radiant and prominent is the Lagoon Nebula (M8), positioned slightly left of center. Emission nebulae like this one emanate a striking red glow caused by ionization. The hydrogen gas within them becomes energized by radiation emitted from young and scorching stars nestled within their depths. The image captures not only an awe-inspiring view but also serves as a reminder of our place in the vastness of space. It symbolizes humanity's quest to comprehend and explore our universe beyond what meets the eye. Displayed by Science Photo Library, this photograph invites us to marvel at both its scientific significance and artistic allure. It encapsulates elements from various fields such as astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, and physics – all converging into a single visual masterpiece. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, let us be reminded that there is so much more waiting to be discovered beyond our planet's boundaries – an endless expanse filled with wonders yet to be unveiled.
