Observed surface brightness in the FUV (top) and NUV (middle) from GALEX and at 100 μm from Schlegel et al. (1998) (bottom). The FUV and NUV maps are in photon units and the 100 μm map is in MJy sr⁻¹. Black areas were not observed by GALEX. The NGP is at the center with lines of latitude at 80° and 85° and lines of longitude every 60° starting from 0° at the top increasing clockwise. Bright spots in the FUV image are due to artifacts around bright stars and were not included in the analysis.
