wonderous-world: Milky Way – Val di Funes by Ghetu Daniel I…
I like the zoomed-out view of Orion, with Collinder 70 enclosing the belt. I also really love that three-dimensional effect you get from visualizing the structure of the Milky Way when looking toward the galactic center. See: It’s a big pancake with a thicker area at the center and dark lanes of dust crossing our field of view. And all these stars around us in other directions: Those are in thin outer reaches of the pancake, with us being inside it.
