A labeled map of the features in the galactic center, based on observations made by the Very Large Array (VLA) at Chile. Field of View: 150 x 240 arcminutes.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: The diagonal line of bright objects in this image of the heart of our Milky Way Galaxy are all powerful sources of radio waves. The bright center is the home of the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*. The dense, bright circles are the nurseries of new, hot stars and the bubbles are the graveyards of exploded, massive stars. The thread-like shapes are not yet understood, but probably trace powerful magnetic field lines. This giant image was assembled from observations made by the Very Large Array (VLA). Field of View: 150 x 240 arcminutes. Credit: NRAO/AUI/NSF and N.E. Kassim, Naval Research Laboratory.
