COSMIC MESSAGE

The center of our Milky Way Galaxy holds vast dust clouds, bright young stars, and swirling rings of gas. Astronomers also suspect a large black hole resides there. Much of the galactic center is hidden from visible light by intervening dust and gas. Infrared and radio telescopes can penetrate this obscuring material.
