Two images of the same region of our 'Milky Way', one with Visible light spectrum, the other taken with Infrared
The Milky Way’s central region in visible light and near-infrared https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soLvc0jH6jA https://scitechdaily.com/ancient-star...
This video compares a visible light wide-field view (part of the Digitized Sky Survey 2) of the Milky Way’s central regions with a new near-infrared image taken with the HAWK-I instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope. The video starts by showing a visible light image of the Milky Way central regions, filled with vast numbers of stars. A moving slider then reveals that far more stars, hidden behind clouds of dust, are revealed when this region is observed in the near-infrared.

The Online Digitized Sky Surveys server at the ESO Archive provides access to the DSS1 and DSS2 surveys produced at the Space Telescope Science Institute through its Guide Star Survey group. The images of these surveys are based on photographic data obtained using the Oschin Schmidt Telescope on Palomar Mountain and the UK Schmidt Telescope. https://archive.eso.org/dss/dss
