Oooooo, pretty. This is an infrared shot of the center of the
Milky Way Galaxy, taken by CalTech's
Spitzer Space Telescope. The beauty (or is it ironic) part of this is that this cloud of cosmic confetti conceals a (literally) dark and desructive secret - a
supermassive black hole. At least that's what Scientists think. Doesn't that suck? Ha ha. Anyway, for this and other images, check out the official Spitzer site. (
