If you are not already in the christmas spirit, you are the might of this beautiful, magnificent picture of the centre of our milky way.
The scientists at NASA, who have composed the image, and in the middle of the picture, it looks like there is shaped a kind of sukkerstok – just of giant molecular clouds instead of them, we know, made out of sugar.
It writes NASA on its website, according to the Science.dk.
Image is composed of several different, as is the roof with each their wavelength.
It will say that one picture has caught the blue light, another has caught the red and so on. Hereafter, the images put on top of each other. the

the Image is taken with an instrument designed at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. The instrument has the colloquial name: The Goddard-IRAM Superconducting 2-Millimeter Observer – abbreviated GISMO.
The cosmic sukkerstok extends over 190 light-years and contains the long, skinny threads of ionized gas that emit different radio waves – hence the different colors.
– GISMO observe microwaves with a wavelength of 2 millimeters, and with it, we can explore the galaxy in the transition zone between the infrared and longer radiobølgelængder, explains Johannes Staguhn, astronomer at Hopkins University and director of the GISMO team at Goddard.
GISMO was used with a 30 meter radio telescope, which is located in the Pico Veleta in Spain.
Two different studies describing the composite image, and both the one and the other is published in the scientific journal The Astrophysical Journal.
