I’ve seen many amazing, inspiring, and humbling deep space images, but this look inside the heart of our very own galaxy has left me without superlatives. This new six-by-three-foot multi-wavelength image combines three visions of the Milky Way’s center: A near-infrared image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, an infrared view from the Spitzer Space Telescope, and an X-ray vision from the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Hello new computer wallpaper… Click to zOOm!

    It makes me what else is there to see, if this takes into account three perspectives? Imagine what else lies for us to discover in the future :D

    Very nice find!

      My attention has been brought to something.

      I have been made aware of a typo.

      That is all.

    Very awesome. You should take an astronomy class, Paul. Astr 10, or 302 if you have Phys 221 credit from APs. You probably like it.
