The Milky Way from the Inside
From any one place, we can see only part of the sky. As the Earth rotates, other parts come into view.
From a single location, however, some part of the sky remains permanently obscured by the horizon.
It takes time and travel to build up a picture of the whole sky
and the galaxy that surrounds us.
