For the last 12 years, photographer J-P Metsavainio has undertaken that challenge.
Metsavainio started taking snapshots of the Milky Way from his observatory in Oulu, Finland in 2009. Earlier this month, he released a mosaic image of the galaxy that stretches from Taurus - a constellation about 2,200 light-years from Earth - to Cygnus, another constellation around 6,100 light-years away.
The mosaic captures about 20 million stars in total. (The entire Milky Way has hundreds of billions of stars.)
