Astronomers at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy have created a 3D map of the cosmic dust in our galaxy.

The map makes use of 130 million spectra from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission to reveal properties of the dust.

Dust distorts our view of stars and other bodies, making them appear redder and fainter than they really are.
