Scientists created a detailed 3D map of the Milky Way

An international team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, Harvard, the Space Telescope Science Institute and the University of Toronto has created a detailed three-dimensional map of the Milky Way.

The new map covers an impressive area of ​​more than 4,000 light-years in all directions from the Sun. The map will be a valuable tool for studying interstellar space in our galaxy and will help unravel the mysteries of star formation.

Scientists have used the latest Gaia data and new methods to create the largest and most detailed map of interstellar dust. This 3D map covers a vast area of ​​4,077 light-years in all directions from the Sun, with a resolution of just a few light-years. It is a valuable tool for studying interstellar space in the Milky Way and helps determine how stars form.
