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.

    Awesome. Democrats have had control of congress since 2007, and control of congress and the whitehouse since 2009. How's that hope and change working out? I guess sending 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan is a change! Can you believe in it?
