A
map of the Milky Way from Lund Observatory, overlaid with the fields
observed for RAVE's first data release. Each blue circle is a patch of
sky six degrees across - the field of view of the Anglo-Australian
Observatory's UK Schmidt telescope. The red line marks the boundary
between the southern and northern equatorial hemispheres. Credit:
