Summary
[edit]DescriptionGalactic Center Radio Image.jpg |
English: At approximately 2 degrees on a side (the full moon is about 1/2 degree across), or about 1000 light years at the distance of the center of the Milky Way, the image is shown in false color with brightness indicating areas of intense radio emission, and surrounding dark areas indicating less intense radio emission. (Dark lines near the center of the image are artifacts of the image processing.) The concentration of radio sources along a diagonal line through the image reveals the disk-like shape of the Milky Way viewed edge-on. |
