Galaxy MapMay 15
I'm organizing an atlas of the Milky Way that will be based on Gaia DR4, HI-GAL, masers and several other sources. What is your preferred map orientation? Galactic centre:
Up (infrared astronomers)
31.8%
Down (radio astronomers)
31.8%
Right (optical astronomers)
27.3%
Left (just to be different)
9.1%

@emily_s Or do three versions of the atlas? Rotating images is easy. Rotating text labels not so much.

@galaxy_map Sorry I'm late to the poll. Down is my preference!

@tammojan Not surprising! All the early famous hydrogen maps have the galactic centre down.
