Heart of the Milky Way Photos From NASA

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the do-you-need-newer-desktop-art dept.

PBH submitted a link to a really amazing composite image of the Milky Way released by NASA. They combined infrared, visible, and x-ray images taken by Spitzer, Hubble, and Chandra to create one beautiful image to commemorate the 400 years since 1609, when Galileo looked up.

      It's amazing how something so obvious in retrospect was such an intuitive leap forward in (ahem) the dark.

      Telescopes existed for some time before Galileo, but in extremely limited quantities and mainly used for practical purposes, such as scanning for mast and sails of ships as they emerged in the horizon.

      In those days, the church told you how the heavens went, and that was that. After plenty of leeway for intellectuals during the Middle Ages, a panicky Vatican was in full-tilt political damage control mode since Martin Luther had sparked a movement that split the church in two, with the support of a new, rich merchant class who were ready to challenge the power of Rome. A famous victim of this scramble to put the toothpaste back in the tube was Giordano Bruno, who was burned at the stake for heresy, an inconceivable prospect a couple of centuries before.
      Remember that Copernicus came up with the heliocentric idea to explain the embarrassing discrepancy of the Julian calendar having thrown the seasons off-sync (think an error in calculation of 15 minutes per year, then add it up over a millennium and a half). Even so, the first edition of De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium was published with a HUGE disclaimer that went along the lines of "This is a hypothetical treatise, an mathematical exercise, and is in no way intended to conflict with the canon of the almighty church". To get a feel for the times, picture yourself as a Darwinist teacher of Biology in Kansas, then multiply by a hundred.

      Not surprising then that in this climate, it took a while before some foolhardy individual decided to get a bit creative with a telescope and point it up into the night sky.

    I browse /. today to find only 80 comments on something as significant as this photo yet find 600 comments on something as insignificant as xbox users being disconnected.

    I weep for the future.

      Insightful? I see the proportion as about right. The universe is an organism that produced you and will keep on producing things much later (much, much, much, much, much, etc etc etc much much!! and much!) later than you die (and, btw, much more evolved than you and me right now). The XBox thing, as ridiculous as it no doubt is, affects people more than how the center of the Milky Way looked like 30k years before now. Sun, moon, tides.

      I've long noticed that pure science articles don't attract many comments and even fewer intelligent one. It's simply that few except a passing astronomer would have anything significant to contribute. While many people have a xbox and feel the pain that something might break their toy. Not really depressing but close.

      For what it's worth, I agree entirely. I try to avoid commenting on articles where I can't add anything informative, and I'd certainly prefer it if more people would do the same.
