The sky on
your birthday.
X-Ray Milky Way
With X-ray vision, the center of our Galaxy would be visible, unhidden by dust clouds. This Chandra Observatory mosaic shows the Milky Way toward Sagittarius in X-rays. High-energy X-rays are blue, medium are green, and low energies are red, revealing hundreds of white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes.
