IMAGE number

Image title
The Milky Way, looking towards the Galactic Centre - Mosaic of 50 images presenting the region of the center of our galaxy. 60 hours of cumulative poses. The center of our galaxy is a remarkable place. In visible light the central brightening known as “” Baade's Window”” represents not the true center but a discrete “” window””” in the dust which allows the light of millions of bulge stars to shine through. This allowed Walter Baade to peer through and calculate the distance to the galactic center in the 1940's. The true galactic center lies in the lower right of the image, near the NGC 6334-6357 nebulas complex. 50 Frame Mosaic, 60 Hours Exposure
