7,000 Stars And The Milky Way
This panorama of the sky is a drawing, created in the 1940s at Lund Observatory. Under Knut Lundmark's supervision, draftsmen mapped the entire sky onto an oval image. It shows 7,000 individual stars as white dots, with their size indicating brightness, and the Milky Way as clouds of combined starlight.
