VISTA’s Gigapixel View of the Milky Way | Infrared and Visible Light | ESO Astronomy HD Video

Visit my website at - this is a closer look at a huge new master image of the central parts of the Milky Way -made from thousands of smaller images, taken by ESO’s VISTA telescope at Paranal, Chile. In the video we see a comparison of visible and infrared views. VISTA’s infrared camera can see through much of the dust blocking the view in visible light, although the more opaque dust filaments still show up in this picture. Please rate and comment, thanks!
