Stars at the Galactic Center

Center of our Milky Way Galaxy is hidden from the eyes of optical telescopesbecause it is covered by a cloud of dust and gas. But, in this stunning, the camera's infrared Spitzer Space Telescope's penetrating a lot of dust, revealing many starsin the crowded center of the galaxy.P
A mosaic of smaller images, cool stars in bluish color. reddish color is a shiningcloud of dust associated with young, hot stars in stellar nurseries. The galactic center lies some 26,000 light-years, toward the constellation Sagittarius. At that distance, this image covers about 900 light years.

Triangulum Galaxy

Triangulum Galaxy is located nearly 3 million light years from Earth. And, in a study that push the limits of current observations might be from Earth, a team of NASAand European scientists record the "fingerprint" of the molecular mysteries of theTriangulum Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy.

Figuring out which molecules leave these instructions, known as the "spreadinterstellar bands", a puzzle that initially seem simple but it's been resolved for nearly a hundred years. The answer is expected to help explain how stars, planetsand the formation of life.
