A mosaic panorama of the rich Galactic Centre region of the Milky Way in Scorpius and Sagittarius, from Messier 16, at left, to the False Comet region
A mosaic panorama of the rich Galactic Centre region of the Milky Way in Scorpius and Sagittarius, from Messier 16, at left, to the False Comet region, at right. This is the most spectacular region of sky, with its dense bright star clouds contrasting with the swirls of dark dusty nebulas. The region includes the Lagoon Nebula, left of centre, and the Cat's Paw Nebula, right of centre, and the large Pipe Nebula, at top centre. The actual centre of the Milky Way lies at the centre of the frame, though the true centre is out of sight hidden by dust clouds. Shot from Coonabarabran, Australia, April 2017.
