ABOUT THIS IMAGE:
In celebration of the International Year of Astronomy 2009, NASA's Great Observatories — the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope, and the Chandra X-ray Observatory — have collaborated to produce an unprecedented image of the central region of our Milky Way galaxy.

In this spectacular image, observations using infrared light and X-ray light see through the obscuring dust and reveal the intense activity near the galactic core. Note that the center of the galaxy is located within the bright white region to the right of and just below the middle of the image. The entire image width covers about one-half a degree, about the same angular width as the full moon.

Each telescope's contribution is presented in a different color:

- Yellow represents the near-infrared observations of Hubble. These observations outline the energetic regions where stars are being born as well as reveal hundreds of thousands of stars.

- Red represents the infrared observations of Spitzer. The radiation and winds from stars create glowing dust clouds that exhibit complex structures from compact, spherical globules to long, stringy filaments.

- Blue and violet represent the X-ray observations of Chandra. X-rays are emitted by gas heated to millions of degrees by stellar explosions and by outflows from the supermassive black hole in the galaxy's center. The bright blue blob on the left side is emission from a double star system containing either a neutron star or a black hole.

When these views are brought together, this composite image provides one of the most detailed views ever of our galaxy's mysterious core.

[snooper2]

35. negative, fun thyme is over

[MynameisBlarney]

36. DAMMIT!

FINE!

[Cha]

43. Not to me.. The long hard fought battle of getting Elizabeth Warren

in our Senate is much more Awesome for our country and our Planet.

That's one beautiful shot.. Elizabeth goes on for 6 years.

[Little Star]

6. Being from MA, I LOVE this picture!!!! Both Kerry & Warren make me proud....

Lets just hope we do as well with Kerry's replacement. I have high hopes that we will.

[freshwest]

44. Yes, the sight of both of them together was inspirational to me. The nation thanks MA!

[Maeve]

7. Obama's swearing in will always rank #1 for me

But this is freakin' sweet!

[greatauntoftriplets]

52. Same here.

[Whisp]

8. very pleased!!!

I love that woman, she is the greatest.

Crossing fingers for 2016 - although that is unlikely, unlikely things have been happening lately!!! so rah rah rah!

[Voice for Peace]

11. We have some REALLY strong women in Congress now

it's just a matter of time for one of them.. maybe
2016 but if not, soon.

[madokie]

9. Senator Warren is definitely an asset

The whole country will be better for her having served.
This lady does not speak bullshit.
She took to heart when her parents were teaching her to be honest in every thing you do.

I'm jealous of the people of Mass.

Real nice wiki page on her.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Warren

[Booster]

39. I live in CA & I donated to her campaign. I wanted her to win really badly. Great asset.

[Ineeda]

48. Florida here, and I donated too.

Although she's not 'my' senator, she will serve the entire country well.

[Auntie Bush]

51. +1000-------Vermont here, and I donated too.

[Phentex]

59. Georgia and I supported her too.

Not many to support here so I wanted to help where it could make a difference.

[Playinghardball]

10. Time for her to kick some Wall Street Banker's butts...

And next Monday wouldn't be soon enought...

GO ELIZABETH!!!

[rhiannon55]

12. Brain glitch here

Who's the guy behind Tester?

[greendog]

20. Baucus

[Arctic Dave]

13. Definately in my all time top five.

Me luvs me some EW.

[Last Stand]

57. The Santorum election day family photo was a keeper, too.

Losing is hard.




and CONGRATS TO SENATOR WARREN!!!

[HereSince1628]

14. This one was pretty damn awesome, too

[MicaelS]

15. First thing I thought of when I saw that picture was..

"Stop the bullshit!"

[meegbear]

16. Yeah, but I'm biased ...

[OldEurope]

23. Question:

your original tartan? Can't see all colours, though.

[meegbear]

25. I'm not pat of a clan ...

but that tartan is the Douglas clan. I purchased it a few years ago online from a kilt maker in Scotland on eBay.

[renate]

27. great picture!

[caledesi]

19. BIG K & R! NT

[samsingh]

21. nice

[calimary]

22. Up where she belongs!!!

And the neat thing is - once Kerry transfers over to State, SHE will be the SENIOR SENATOR FROM MASSACHUSETTS!!! Doesn't that sound FANTASTIC?!?!?!?!

[Taverner]

26. Not lately...

[Danascot]

28. Another awesome pic

[LynneSin]

29. I think this one is just as awesome

?6

Up there somewhere in heaven Harvey Milk is smiling.

[beachgirl2365]

30. oh WOW!!!

so awesome!!!. this just brought tears to my eyes......... way to go Elizabeth! thanks for posting the pix!!

[ladym55]

31. Lucky Massachusetts!!!!

And for Wisconsin ... you are like Ohio. You have one awesome senator and a complete tool. We share your pain until 2016 when both tools--Johnson and Portman--can return to private life.

[ReRe]

37. Never!

I know so many wonderful new House and Senate members have been sworn in, but I'd have to rate Elizabeth Warren at the top of the group for the 113th Congress. And she's on the banking committee. Henry Gonzalez would be so proud of her! Now Henry can slow down rolling in his grave, God rest his sweet soul.
Go Elizabeth!

[Scootaloo]

38. Yes. The Hubble Deep Field photo.

But I like this one too

[pacalo]

40. I believe Elizabeth Warren will be one of the hardest working senators of our time.

Way to go, Massachusetts!

[Little Star]

46. I think she will even give Hillary's work ethic a run for the money.....

And it's pretty hard to work harder than Hillary, imo. Go Elizabeth!!!

[pacalo]

47. I agree, Little Star!

[Sarah Ibarruri]

41. Joyful! nt

[Liberalynn]

42. Truly awesome

[mgardener]

45. Dream team

Yes she can!
Hilary Clinton/Elizabeth Warren 2016!!!!!

[OccupyManny]

49. So proud

Her awesomeness is overwhelming. Goodbye repuke bankers!!! Lol!

[shenmue]

50. Pretty darn good!

All right.

[Eleanors38]

53. She's the one for the job of cleaning up our financial/investment wreck.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

54. What a breath of fresh air!

Honest to God, we are so lucky to have her in the Senate. That informal video of her at the house party where she said something like, "We don't get to where we are on our own" just blew me away. Other folks in and out of Mass. too, it seemed because she really raked in the dough. Massachusetts certainly deserves better than that other Johnny-come-lately. Good riddance and STAY away!

K&R

[ProudProgressiveNow]

55. K&R nt

[lindysalsagal]

56. She's gonna scare the pants off the good ol boy network.

They'll be trashing her in under a week.

[TheKentuckian]

58. Many hundreds, just in nature shots alone.

I love it, no question but wouldn't even be my top political shot.
