A detailed map of dust in Milky Way

Astronomy's dirty window to space: A detailed map of dust in the Milky Way
When we observe distant celestial objects, there is a possible catch: Is that star I am observing really as reddish as it appears? Or does the star merely look reddish, since its light has had to travel through a cloud of cosmic dust to reach our telescope?
Detailed map of dust in the Milky Way
Astronomers have constructed the first detailed 3D map of the properties of cosmic dust in our home galaxy. For their map, the astronomers used 130 million spectra from ESA's Gaia mission, results from the LAMOST spectral survey,
Cosmic map reveals that the Milky Way's dust has very unusual properties
Previous efforts to map the galaxy's dust were challenged by limited data, but the Gaia mission has provided a treasure trove of information.
