-HUBBLE-CHANDRA-SPITZER- -The Core Of The Milky Way Galaxy: New Release - In celebration of the International Year of Astronomy, 2009, NASA's Great Observatories — the Hubble Space Telescope , the Spitzer Space Telescope , and the Chandra X-ray Observatory — have collaborated to produce an unprecedented image of the central region of our Milky Way Galaxy .In this spectacular image, observations using visual light, infrared light and X-ray light see through the obscuring dust and reveal the intense activity at the galactic core.Note that the center of the galaxy is located within the bright white region to the right of and just below the middle of the image. The entire image width covers about one-half a degree, about the same angular width as the full moon.Seen in the view: radiation and winds from stars, glowing dust clouds, complex structures from compact, spherical globules to long, stringy filaments, and finally, outflows from the supermassive black hole in the galaxy's center.The bright blue blob on the left side is Galactic Core Emission from a double star system containing either a neutron star or a black hole.This spectacular image provides one of the most detailed views ever of our galaxy's mysterious core.Extraordinary.From the AIS Photo Art Gallery, the poster is a New High Resolution Print on Premium Heavy High Gloss read more
