This is an extraordionary photograph made up of over 37,000 exposures stitched together to create the entire night sky in one image - a 360-degree view of the Milky Way, Planets and stars in our Solar System.
Behind the image there is also the extraordionary story in the AP release of the passion, determination and sheer hard work required by Nick Risinger to capture the image. It is a great story which can be found HERE.
Also there is a dedicated website for the image which is HERE which features further details on it's creation and the ability to zoom right in for a good look etc
