"[T]he first full-sky image from Europe's Planck telescope which was sent into space last year to survey the 'oldest light' in the cosmos."

"It took the 600m-euro observatory just over six months to assemble the map. It shows what is visible beyond the Earth to instruments that are sensitive to light at very long wavelengths - much longer than what we can sense with our eyes.... 'What you see is the structure of our galaxy in gas and dust...'"

A picture worth taking a look at, don't you think?
