Description
This image is a combined, composite of 370 observations over the past two decades by the orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory, depicting billions of stars and countless black holes in the center, or heart, of the Milky Way. A radio telescope in South Africa also contributed to the image, for contrast.
Astronomer Daniel Wang of the University of Massachusetts Amherst spent a year working on this while stuck at home during the pandemic.
Pictured is a violent or energetic ecosystem in our galaxy�s downtown, There are a lot of supernova remnants, black holes, and neutron stars there. Each X-ray dot or feature represents an energetic source, most of which are in the center.
This busy, high-energy galactic center is over 26,000 light years away.
