Nasa has put together the most complete 360-degree panorama IR image to date of our galaxy the Milky Way.
The panorama is made of over 2,5 million individual images taken by Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope.
They are all stored over the course of 10 years. Scientists estimate this panorama reveals half of the galaxy's stars.
