New Milky Way Image Shows Best of All Spectra
A new multi-telescope image has revealed the beauty of the center of the Milky Way across the electromagnetic spectrum. The Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes teamed up with the Chandra X-ray Observatory to provide a glimpse of our galaxy that shows far more than our human eyes can see. Spitzer investigated the infrared light emanating from the region, which largely comes from glowing dust clouds created by stellar radiation and wind.
