Add Image to Favorite List 2021-04-21 Milky Way 3840x2160x3
Images of the Milky Way and the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are overlaid on a map of the surrounding galactic halo. The smaller structure is a wake created by the LMC's motion through this region.
PIA24571:
Star Map of the Milky Way's Outer Halo
Full Resolution:     TIFF (16.93 MB)     JPEG (1.124 MB)
Add Image to Favorite List 2015-06-03 Milky Way Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)
 1308x1308x3
Astronomers using data from NASA's WISE are helping to trace the shape of our Milky Way galaxy's spiral arms. Here, WISE data revealed clusters of young stars shrouded in dust, called embedded clusters, which are known to reside in spiral arms.

Tracing the Arms of our Milky Way Galaxy
Full Resolution:     TIFF (5.135 MB)     JPEG (145.1 kB)
Add Image to Favorite List 2015-02-05 Milky Way Planck
 13206x6853x3
Our Milky Way galaxy is ablaze with dust in this new all-sky map from Planck, a European Space Agency mission with important NASA contributions. The towers of fiery colors are actually dust in the galaxy and beyond that has been polarized.
PIA18915:
Polarized Dust Lights Up Milky Way
Full Resolution:     TIFF (271.6 MB)     JPEG (6.333 MB)
Add Image to Favorite List 2015-02-05 Milky Way Planck
 6000x6000x3
A new, dynamic portrait of our Milky Way galaxy shows a frenzy of gas, charged particles and dust as seen by the European Space Agency's Planck mission.
PIA18913:
Milky Way Untangled
Full Resolution:     TIFF (108 MB)     JPEG (2.399 MB)
Add Image to Favorite List 2015-02-05 Milky Way Planck
 13206x6853x3
This composite image comes from the ESA's Planck shows a festive portrait of our Milky Way galaxy shows a mishmash of gas, charged particles and several types of dust.

 IRAC
 2934x2052x3
This infrared image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows three baby stars in the bustling center of our Milky Way galaxy. The three stars are the first to be discovered in the region.

Add Image to Favorite List 2008-06-03 Milky Way Spitzer Space Telescope
 5600x5600x3
This artist's concept illustrates the new view of the Milky Way. The galaxy's two major arms can be seen attached to the ends of a thick central bar, while the two now-demoted minor arms are less distinct and located between the major arms.

Add Image to Favorite List 2006-01-10 Milky Way Spitzer Space Telescope
 IRAC
 7002x5050x3
Our Milky Way is a dusty place. So dusty that we cannot see the center of the galaxy in visible light. Thanks to NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope's excellent resolution, the dusty features within the galactic center are seen in unprecedented detail.
PIA03653:
The Milky Way Center Aglow with Dust
Full Resolution:     TIFF (106.1 MB)     JPEG (3.431 MB)

 IRAC
 27000x6000x3
In visible light, the bulk of our Milky Way galaxy's stars are eclipsed behind thick clouds of galactic dust and gas. But to the infrared eyes of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, distant stars and dust clouds shine with unparalleled clarity and color.
