Galactic Center (Survey)
Multiwavelength Close-Up
A multiwavelength close-up of the recent massive star-forming region
near the Galactic center. The color image, plotted also in standard
Galactic coordinates, is a composite of 20-cm radio continuum (red;
ref. 26); 25-µm mid-infrared (green; ref. 16); and 6.4-keV line
emission (blue).

Galactic Center (Survey) Labeled
Image
This 400 by 900 light-year mosaic of several Chandra
images of the central region of our Milky Way galaxy
reveals hundreds of white dwarf stars, neutron stars,
and black holes bathed in an incandescent fog of
multimillion-degree gas. Key sources have been
labeled.
