On Jan. 18, astronomers released a "gargantuan" survey of the Milky Way
as part of an ambitious project called the "Dark Energy Camera Plane Survey." They captured this view using an instrument called the Dark Energy Camera at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, perched at 7,200 feet of elevation in Chile. The camera is mounted to a large telescope that spans over 13 feet wide; ultimately it snapped images of a whopping 3.32 billion objects, most of which are stars.
