It's a 3D image of the stars/galaxies we have mapped from Earth. You are seeing it from the side. It's from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

We can't map the entire sky from Earth because the Milky Way is in the way. It limits the angles we can look. That is why there is a big blank area in the middle.
