Astronomers from the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have created the largest low-frequency radio color image of the Milky Way ever assembled. This spectacular new image captures the Southern Hemisphere view of our Milky Way galaxy, revealing it across a wide range of radio wavelengths, the colors of radio light.

A paper describing this work appears in Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia.

It provides astronomers with new ways to explore the birth, evolution, and death of stars in our galaxy.
