Color-composite image of part of the Galactic Plane seen by the ATLASGAL survey. In this image, the ATLASGAL sub-millimeter-wavelength data (at 870 µm) are shown in red, overlaid on a view of the region in infrared light, from the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) in blue (8.28 µm) and in green (14.65/21.3 µm). The total size of the image is approximately 42° by 1.75°.
