Milky Way

This “magnificent 360-degree panorama” of the Milky Way was created by the European Southern Observatory. The source image is in equirectangular coordinates, and is reprojected here using the stereographic projection, simulating the view of the night sky from varying positions on Earth.

This interactive requires WebGL, but see an earlier, slower software implementation of raster reprojection for comparison.
