New Milky Way Map

[Luke]

We have a new view of the Milky Way Galaxy's star-forming regions: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/spe ... he-galaxy/

Thank you, Luke!

The APEX telescope has mapped the full area of the Galactic Plane visible from the southern hemisphere for the first time at submillimeter wavelengths. (ESO/APEX/ATLASGAL consortium/NASA/GLIMPSE consortium/ESA/Planck) ...

"Seen in visible light, these regions of the Universe are often dark and obscured due to the dust," the European Southern Observatory's website explains. "But they shine brightly in the millimetre and submillimetre part of the spectrum. This wavelength range is also ideal for studying some of the earliest and most distant galaxies in the Universe, whose light has been redshifted into these longer wavelengths."

This explains why people cannot see the full glory of the Milky Way with their visible eyes.
Just think: when we reach Heaven, we will see the awesome glory of God and of His creation.

Indeed we will. On occasion I like to sky watch, because I think the stars, nebula, etc. reveal the power and creativeness of the Lord.

Of course, all creation proclaims the glory of God, and eye has not see nor ears heard what has been prepared for us in Heaven.
