| January 10, 2002: Chandra's Milky Way Core Mosaic |
![]() A photo of the Milky Way's core taken by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. I turned the photo 90-degrees to have it fit better on the screen. Turn your head sideways to imaging you're looking at the heart of our galaxy. There are 1,000 X-ray sources in there. You can count if you like, but I recommend you trust me. Image credit: Chandra |
