Milky Way galaxy,WISE infrared image. The Milky Way runs horizontally across centre in this equirectangular all-sky projection from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The colours show wavelengths of infrared light. Blue represents 3.4-micron light emitted from stars and galaxies. Green and red represent 12-micron and 2-micron light from dust nebulae. The centre of the galaxy contains a large number of stars (blue),while the outer arms are dominated by dust lanes (green). The Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (satellite galaxies) are at lower right. Image published in 2012 | |
