Explanation:
This astronomical sky
spanning view is a mosaic from the Pan-STARRS observatory.
The images were recorded with its 1.8 meter telescope at the summit of
Haleakala on planet Earth's island of Maui.
In fact, Earth's north celestial pole is centered in this across-the-sky
projection.
A declination
of -30 degrees, the southern horizon limit as seen from the
Hawaiian Valley Isle, defines the circular outer edge.
Crowded starfields
and cosmic dust clouds along the plane of our Milky
Way galaxy stretch across the scene with the bright
bulge of the galactic center at the bottom.
Compiled over four years, the image data represent
the second edition of data from Pan-STARRS
(Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System), currently
the planet's
largest digital sky survey.
In 2017 Pan-STARRS was used to first recognize the interstellar voyage of
'Oumuamua, visitor to our Solar System.
