They Just Released The Biggest Picture Of Space Ever

Here is a bit more information on what this picture shows!  The number of objects is actually hard to get your mind around just from this pic:

Generated from five years of observations in one of the driest places on Earth, the image is of our home galaxy the Milky Way. And it reveals 50,000 never-before-seen variable objects. Space just got a little more crowded.

Astronomers at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum in Germany spent night after night snapping pictures of the southern sky at their university observatory in the Atacama Desert, in Chile.

Here is the online tool to observe it!

We hope you like the pic and we are looking forward to more great work from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum team.
