n-a-s-a: Spitzer’s Milky Way Credit: GLIMPSE, MIPSGAL, NASA, JPL-Caltech, Univ. Wisconsin Explanation: The Spitzer Space Telescope’s encompasing infrared view of the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy is hard to appreciate in just one picture. In fact, more than 800,000 frames of data from Spitzer’s cameras have now been pieced together in an enormous mosaic of the galactic plane - the most detailed infrared picture of our galaxy ever made.
