The Milky Way, 'Grand Mosaic' (Open and click on image, or use fingers to expand)
Finnish photographer-artist, JP Metsavainio, took over 12 years and 1,200 hours of exposures to create a panoramic Milky Way.
Not only did he capture our planet’s galaxy, but also more than 20 million stars that reside within a vast expanse.
Within a region of 125 arc minutes, stretching from the constellation Taurus the Bull to the constellation Cygnus the Swan, Finnish astrophotographer J-P Metsavainio stitched together a deep and detailed panorama of our Milky Way galaxy stretching across the night sky.
