Stellar nurseries, massive stars, and rippling clouds of gas highlight this multi-wavelength view of the Milky Way galaxy's turbulent heart. Infrared wavelengths, in yellow and red, depict regions where new stars are born, as well as tendrils of gas sculpted by magnetic fields. X-rays, in blue, show the violence of exploding stars and gas falling into the galaxy's supermassive black hole. The galaxy's center is in the bright white blob to the lower right of center.
