Here is one short and sweet. Astronomers assembled hundreds of infrared photos of the milky way. All of them put together form a mosaic that is zoomable.
The utility was constructed using images from the nine gigapixel VISTA infrared survey telescope at ESO’s Paranal Observatory. This provided a dataset that contains more than ten times more stars than previous studies! This gives viewers an incredible, zoomable view of the central part of our galaxy.
