America publishes a panoramic picture of the Milky Way

According to the Science and Life Network (USA), scientist Axel Mellinger of the University of Michigan (USA) has used digital image processing technology to successfully combine the panoramic picture of the Milky Way from more than 3,000 Different photos.

To complete this magnificent work, scientist Mellinger spent 22 months and traveled more than 260,000 miles in South Africa to take more than 3,000 photos of the Milky Way at night.

Besides, scientist Mellinger used digital image processing technology and had to work on the computer for hundreds of hours.

Mellinger argues that due to the effects of light from cameras and different brightness each time, turning them into similarly bright images is extremely complex.

To solve this problem, Mellinger took advantage of data from the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) to compare and contrast the brightness of different stars, thereby removing unnecessary light.

According to Axel Mellinger, this galactic panorama has shown hundreds of constellations and nebulae that the naked eye cannot see.
