I have seen this universe image a lot and never understood what it actually is by subatomicslim It's a 3D image of the stars/galaxies we have mapped from Earth. You are seeing it from the side. It's from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RXpHiCNsKU We can't map the entire sky from Earth because the Milky Way is in the way. It limits the angles we can look. That is why there is a big blank area in the middle. Permalink Parent 1
