ISS captures Milky Way arm from Abu Dhabi
The International Astronomical Center succeeded in capturing an image of one of the arms of the Milky Way galaxy from the heart of Abu Dhabi using infrared imaging techniques. The aim was to reveal dense regions at the galaxy's center, including portions of the Scorpius and Sagittarius constellations, located approximately 26,000 light-years from Earth. The image was created by correcting for urban light pollution using a highly sensitive camera and an infrared filter. The total exposure time was 30 minutes, covering a wide area of the sky. This achievement highlights the potential of advanced digital technologies to observe astronomical details from within cities, emphasizing the importance of selecting the appropriate spectral range and sensitive equipment to obtain accurate results.
