Max-Planck and CSIRO Map Hydrogen Atoms in Milky Way

The HI4PI map. The colors reflect the approaching (purple/blue) and receding (orange/green) hydrogen gas velocities relative to Earth, while the brightness corresponds to the amount. The plane of the Milky Way runs horizontally across the middle, and the splotches at the lower right are the Magellanic Clouds. (Image credit: Benjamin Winkel and the HI4PI collaboration)

This Is the Most Detailed Hydrogen Map of the Milky Way Ever Created,
