HI4PI Animation (VIDEO)

Caption

Using real data, this animation shows radio emission from neutral hydrogen atoms located in our galaxy, the Milky Way, and our neighboring dwarf galaxies, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. It has been produced using observations made with the 100 meter Max-Planck radio telescope in Effelsberg, Germany, and the 64 meter CSIRO radio telescope in Parkes, Australia. The colors reflect the approaching (purple/blue) and receding (orange/green)hydrogen gas motion while the brightness traces its amount.
