What Does the Observable Universe Look Like?

[Kanov]

The entire observable universe is contained rather graciously in this wonderful picture, for your admiration.

Welcome to the PF.

Please add attribution. Where did you copy the picture from?

The entire observable universe may well be in the field of the camera's view, but it most certainly is not actually in the picture. Everything in the pic is in the milky way, with the possible exception a very small number of objects which are, in cosmological terms, approximately zero distance from the milky way.

Nice picture, it definitely is a picture of what in ordinary language might be called 'observable', with a half decent set of lenses.
