Full-Sky Maps

Full-sky maps are detailed visual representations of the entire celestial sphere, showing the positions and properties of stars, planets, galaxies, and cosmic phenomena as observed from Earth or space. They allow astronomers to study the universe’s structure, distribution, and composition across the entire sky, providing a comprehensive view that helps identify patterns and understand cosmic origins. These maps are created using various telescopes and sensors, often covering multiple wavelengths (like visible, infrared, or radio), enabling scientists to explore the universe in a holistic way.
