Full-sky map showing 56,000 galaxies

Caption

A full-sky map showing Cosmicflows-4’s 56,000 galaxies with distance measurements. Each dot represents a galaxy, and the color of the dot indicates distance from us, with blue tones nearby and redder tones farther away. In this view, the obscuring plane of the Milky Way mostly maps to the edges but also cuts across the center of the figure.
