COSMIC MESSAGE

If you had X-ray vision, the center of our galaxy would look like this, not hidden by cosmic dust. This image from the Chandra X-ray Observatory shows high-energy X-rays in blue, medium in green, and low energy in red. It spans 130 light-years at the galactic center, revealing massive, X-ray emitting star clusters 26,000 light-years away.
