The sky on
your birthday.
The Gamma Ray Sky Credit:
If your eyes could see gamma rays, the sky would look like this all-sky map from the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. The bright band running horizontally is the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy, glowing with high-energy radiation. Scattered across the map are bright spots, marking exotic objects like pulsars and black holes.
