While visible light can reveal a tremendous amount of information, it's by going to shorter (UV) and longer (IR) wavelengths that we can learn where the newest, hottest stars are, find that they form in clusters along the arms and in the center, see through the (visible) light-blocking dust, and pinpoint the location of the neutral gas that will form the next generation of stars.

Startswithabang was so incredibly keen to suck some traffic from /. for his personal blog he didn't even check to see if his blog was viewable.
Here's a hint, we'll be here tomorrow too, we'll still feed your dumed down blog with clicks then too. There's no rush to get it out so quickly that you can't even have a look at your own page to see if the full high res pictures that can't be rescaled don't take up 30 pages. .
