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.

赫歇尔空间天文台目前正在进行的一个关键项目是银河系的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最大面积和最高分辨率的调查，并以惊人的细节揭示了银河系的星星形成和分子云。我们希望通过这个小奖项实现的是通过举办Hi-GAL图像展览，将Hi-GAL对银河系的愿景带给公众。我们计划以一种创新的方式做到这一点，通过创建一个50米长的地面显示器，可以在各种场地显示的形式的银河系步行之旅。我们的主要目标是将赫歇尔背后的科学及其美丽的图像带给广大观众，这些观众通常不会欣赏它们，通过将地面展示放在吸引广泛游客的场地。我们的第二个目标是展示英国在Hi-GAL和Herschel的强大参与，使用与英国相关机构地理位置相关的场地。
