Scientific paper

Most of the luminous (massive) stars in our Galaxy, a highly flattened system with spiral arms, are not readily studied at optical or shorter wavelengths due to the absorbing effects of interstellar dust. Infra-red and radio wavelengths penetrate the dust and reveal the birth sites of newly born massive stars. I shall describe the techniques used to identify such objects and outline our current knowledge about them. We should be able, in the near future, to accurately assess the total numbers of massive stars in our Galaxy.
