There’s a problem with our view of the night sky: beautiful though it is, we’re incapable of seeing with our own eyes what the Universe is like from an outsider’s perspective. No matter where we are, we’re stuck inside our own galaxy, with all its light-blocking and obscuring properties.

…Find out how we see through our galaxy, and discover the whole of the Universe! (Plus don’t miss the amazing visual reward at the end!)
