The Milky Way on a colourful and informative wall map, size 79.5 x 51.5cm (31" x 20" approx) – encapsulated version, from the National Geographic, showing the galaxy’s spiral-shaped system of a few hundred billion stars and where we sit inside it. Colouring indicates the galactic bulge, placed in the centre of the map, globular star clusters, nebulae, molecular clouds, etc.

Various arms of the Milky Way are named and specific points are cross-referenced to the surrounding explanatory text (if not, alas, to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and illustrated with more detailed images. Also provided is a cross-section of the galactic latitude.

This title is also available on paper.

LAMINATED and ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS:
- LAMINATED wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only. They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.

- ENCAPSULATED wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid and heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof and do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.

- PLEASE NOTE: many publishers and retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles and descriptions follow the definitions provided above.
