<B>Jan. 11, 2006</B>— The Spitzer Space Telescope has peered through the dust at the center of the Milky Way to capture hundreds of thousands of bustling old stars in clouds lit up by younger, massive stellar companions.   </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20060109/milkyway_spa.html"><P>
The mosaic image, taken by Spitzer's infrared camera, is the deepest and sharpest view yet of an expansive stretch of the galactic center.    </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20060109/milkyway_spa.html"><P>
"With Spitzer, we can peer right into the heart of our own galaxy and see breathtaking detail," said Susan Stolovy of the Spitzer Science Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, who presented the new image at the 207th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Washington, D.C. "This picture is crammed with fascinating features that we have just begun to explore."     </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20060109/milkyway_spa.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/dsc.discovery.com/img/523062BA-0A32-49CF-A2E4-F4D873991EEB" alt="Bright Dust Clouds" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20060109/milkyway_spa.html"><DIV class="caption%20shim5%20shift15"><B>Bright Dust Clouds</B></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/780229C2-8FB3-437B-93D4-28F25FEA54B5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
