Panorama View Of Our Night Sky

For all those astronomy fans, I just found a website which contains a full 360 degree view of our night sky. It’s really amazing and you can find well know object’s in it which are actually exit in the heavens up there, you can even see the nearest gigantic galaxy Andromeda in it clearly. The whole panorama view was created by merging nearly 1200 photos that encompass the entire night sky and that is not all, the picture are made up of 800-million-pixel thus giving closet details of various objects.

This project was launched by ESO within the framework of the International Year of Astronomy 2009 (IYA2009). Here is the link where you can scroll the entire night sky. Visit Giga Galaxy Zoom.

Below is video preview of our Milky Way made by ESO.

Also visit Universe Today, the website from which i am inspired the most.
