New Delhi: NASA had recently released a stunning new picture of the Milky Way galaxy's violent, super-energised ‘downtown’. It's a 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. Unravel the threads of superheated gas and magnetic fields that make up the tapestry of energy of our Milky Way galaxy.
