It has been used to a broad range of areas from asteroids in our solar system to the most remote galaxies at the edge of the observable universe. Spritzer has been in orbit since 2003 and has been working on more than just photography. " Instead, we've created a digital viewer that anyone, even astronomers, can use."ģ60 degree panaroma showing the slice of the galaxy being viewed " If we actually printed this out, we'd need a billboard as big as the Rose Bowl Stadium to display it," said Robert Hurt, an imaging specialist at NASA's Spitzer Space Science Center in Pasadena, Calif. The 20 gigapixel image captures more than half of the galaxy's stars and yet just 3 percent of the Earth's sky, focusing on the band that contains the Milky Way's spiral arms.
Now you can take an intergalactic trip from the safety of your own home across thousand upon thousands of light years from the Spritzer website. They showcased the panorama shot, which is a mosaic of 2 million infrared photographs taken over the course of 10 years, at last weeks TEDActive 2014 Conference in Vancouver Canada. NASA have recently showed off a zoomable 360 degree view of our galaxy, the Milky Way, produced by its telescope Spritzer.
