Stars of the Galactic Center
The center of our Milky Way galaxy is hidden from optical view by thick dust. The Spitzer Space Telescope, however, can see through much of this dust using infrared light. This image shows older, cool stars in blue hues and reddish dust clouds where new stars are forming.
