Behold The Center of the Milky Way Across The Entire Spectrum!

See that shit? It’s the center of the galaxy you’re currently living in. Alasdair Wilkins explains how this pig was made:
This amazing image of the center of our galaxy is the work of three different space telescopes – Hubble, which photographs objects in the visual wavelengths, Chandra, which looks at X-rays, and Spitzer, which investigates the infrared.
Gorgeous. Astrophysicist Giovanni Fazio explains in Wilkin’s article that when ” you look at the universe in different wavelengths, you get a completely different picture. They are all pieces of a puzzle.” True dat.
