Hydrogen emission along the plane of the Milky Way taken from the entire Southern Galactic Plane Survey longitude range. These data were
obtained with the Parkes Radio Telescope and the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The image shows hydrogen as a function of Galactic
longitude and radial (Doppler) velocity. Positive velocities correspond to gas outside the solar circle, whereas negative velocities show gas in the inner
Galaxy.
In this false color image black represents very strong emission.
