“Ever wanted X-ray specs or super-human vision? Chromoscope lets you explore our Galaxy (the Milky Way) and the distant Universe in a range of wavelengths from gamma-rays to the longest radio waves.
Change the wavelength using the slider in the top right of the screen and explore space using your mouse. For more information we have a quick video tour or you can read more on our blog. If you get stuck, click “Help” in the bottom left.

Chromoscope is kindly funded by the Cardiff University Astronomy and Astronomy Instrumentation Groups.”

This marvelous graphic interface offers 8 different ways to represent the Milky Way : Gamma ray, X-ray, Visible, Hydrogen alpha, Near-Infrared, Far-Infrared, Microwave and Radio.

Very interesting and, for me who  am intersting but not a specialist,  images are impressive but they need some explanations. Don’t miss to switch “View in Whisky” and “View in WorldWide Telescope” (both very impressive and aesthetic too but without contextualization …. :s)
