Galactic arm of the Milky Way
The only hints of the Milky Way Galaxy that are observable from Earth are the prominent gas, dust, and stars of the galactic arms. Here, gas in spots of the arms shine red, likely illuminated by newborn stars. This image was taken at ESO's La Silla Observatory using a DSLR camera and it shows various star clusters and nebulae, including the famous Cat's Paw (NGC 6334) on the left and the Prawn Nebula (IC 4628) near the centre.
