Summary
[edit]DescriptionCenter of the Milky Way Galaxy IV – Composite.jpg |
English: In celebration of the International Year of Astronomy 2009, NASA's Great Observatories -- the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope, and the Chandra X-ray Observatory -- have produced a matched trio of images of the central region of our Milky Way galaxy. Each image shows the telescope's different wavelength view of the galactic center region, illustrating the unique science each observatory conducts.
In this spectacular image, observations using infrared light and X-ray light see through the obscuring dust and reveal the intense activity near the galactic core. Note that the center of the galaxy is located within the bright white region to the right of and just below the middle of the image. The entire image width covers about one-half a degree, about the same angular width as the full moon. Each telescope's contribution is presented in a different colour:
Español: Imagen compuesta de la región central de la Vía Láctea (por los satélites Hubble, Spitzer y Chandra).
Français : Image composite de la région centrale de la Voie lactée (par les satellites Hubble, Spitzer et Chandra).
हिन्दी: आकाशगंगा आकृति में एक सर्पिल गैलेक्सी है, जिसका एक बड़ा केंद्र है और उस से निकलती हुई कई वक्र भुजाएँ हैं। यह स्पिट्ज़र और हबल अंतरिक्ष दूरदर्शी और चंद्रा एक्स-रे वेधशाला द्वारा लिये गए चित्रों को मिलाकर बनाया गया एक विस्तृत चित्र है। चित्र के दाईं ओर और चित्र के मध्य के थोड़ा नीचे सफेद चमकता क्षेत्र केंद्र है।
Polski: Obraz centralnego obszaru Drogi Mlecznej złożony z trzech fotografii wykonanych za pomocą teleskopów kosmicznych Hubble’a, Spitzera oraz Chandra.
Italiano: Un'immagine composita della regione centrale della nostra galassia, la Via Lattea. L'immagine è stata ottenuta unendo osservazioni del Hubble Space Telescope, dello Spitzer Space Telescope e del Chandra X-ray Observatory a diverse lunghezze d'onda, permettendo di rivelare l'intensa attività vicino al nucleo galattico dietro alle scure nubi di polveri.
