Karthik Easvur submitted this image to EarthSky, saying:
The Milky Way galactic center that you see in this picture is the galactic center of 25,000 years ago … So, basically, it’s a 25,000-year-old picture … But actually, the picture was clicked a few days back… :)
Isn’t this amazing???
Thank you, Karthik, and yes, it is amazing!
