This new low-frequency radio image of the Milky Way took more than 40,000 hours to construct. It's the largest ever radio colour image of the Milky Way and reveals large-scale astrophysical structures. It's also particularly useful at identifying supernova remnants.

Astronomers from the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) in Australia have created a stunning new radio colour image of the Milky Way. By mapping different radio frequencies to RGB colours, the image reveals large-scale astrophysical phenomena and gives researchers a new tool to understand the lifecycle of stars.
