The star(s) of the show today have been those making up the Milky Way, the structure of which has been revealed like never before by the results of a survey conducted by the Spitzer Space Telescope. The result is currently displayed right across the exhibition hall, as you can see in the Universe Today report.
For those of you who aren’t here, go and play with the Alien Earths interface which lets you zoom around and into the image, head for highlights selected by the team and switch between wavelengths with the slide of a mouse. Excellent eye candy for the end of a very long day.
