One of the Key Projects currently being carried out by the Herschel Space Observatory is the Hi-GAL survey of the Milky Way (https://hi-gal.ifsi-roma.inaf.it/higal/). Hi-GAL is the biggest area and highest resolution survey of the Milky Way that has been carried out to date, and is revealing the Galaxy's star formation and molecular clouds in stunning detail. What we would like to achieve through this Small Award is to bring the Hi-GAL vision of the Milky Way to the general public by staging an exhibition of the Hi-GAL images. We plan to do this in an innovative way, by creating a walking tour of the Milky Way in the form of a 50m long floor display that can be shown in a variety of venues. Our primary aim is to bring the science behind Herschel and its beautiful images to a wide audience which would not normally get to appreciate them, by placing the floor display in venues that attract a wide spectrum of visitors. Our secondary aims are to showcase the strong UK involvement in Hi-GAL and Herschel, using venues geographically linked to the UK institutes involved.

赫歇尔太空天文台目前正在进行的重点项目之一是银河系 Hi-GAL 巡天 (https://hi-gal.ifsi-roma.inaf.it/higal/)。 Hi-GAL 是迄今为止对银河系进行的面积最大、分辨率最高的巡天，以令人惊叹的细节揭示了银河系的恒星形成和分子云。我们希望通过这个小奖实现的目标是通过举办 Hi-GAL 图像展览，将 Hi-GAL 的银河系愿景带给公众。我们计划以创新的方式做到这一点，以 50m 长的地面展示的形式打造银河系徒步之旅，可以在各种场地展示。我们的主要目标是通过将地面展示放置在吸引广泛游客的场所，将赫歇尔背后的科学及其美丽的图像带给通常无法欣赏的广大观众。我们的次要目标是利用与所涉及的英国机构地理位置相关的场地，展示英国对 Hi-GAL 和 Herschel 的大力参与。
