The Milkyway Transit Authority
Our galaxy is unimaginably vast, and we really have no idea what is out there. We are discovering new planets in other star systems all the time, learning new facts about the galactic core, and even learning about whole new portions of the galaxy. This map is an attempt to approach our galaxy with a bit more familiarity than usual and get people thinking about long-term possibilities in outer space.

Samuel Arbesman, postdoctoral fellow at Harvard, created this great map of our galaxy in transit map form.
