Caption:
The G328 sector of the Galaxy, showing the emission from three spiral arms in lines from carbon monoxide (12CO green and 13CO yellow; Mopra), carbon ([CI] red; HEAT Antarctica) and hydrogen (HI blue; Parkes/ATCA). The movie shows a 3D projection of the data cube, with the distance from the Sun obtained from the velocity axis of the cube. The other two axes are the Galactic longitude and latitude.

G320-330: A comparison along the sector of the Galactic Plane from l=320°-330° of the atomic hydrogen from the SGPS (top; McClure-Griffiths et al. 2005), $^{12}$CO from our Mopra CO survey (middle; Braiding et al. 2015) and $^{12}$CO from the original Dame et al. (2001) survey (bottom). The effect of the improvement in resolution, a factor of ~10 angular and spectral dimensions, is dramatic.
