This image, taken in 2010, presents a thirty degree portion of the galactic center. There are several astronomic features present in this paragraph, including dust lanes, several bright nebulae, and star clusters. Located near the Pipe Dark nebulae and the Antares cloud, this image is about 26,000 light years away from the exact galactic center. Although resembling just another region of space on its own, knowing this image is of the center of our galaxy makes it very impressive. Tuesday, January 10, 2012
