The research instrument
worlds most powerful recorded this fabulous view of the sky in one shot. The
scene, looking near Sagittarius, covers an area of approximately 3 degrees of
curve or six times the diameter of the lunar disk.
The Lagoon Nebula (M8),
Trifid Nebula (M20) and NGC 6559 (pictured at right) are, respectively, in the
bottom of the scene, top right and bottom left. All of them are embedded in
dusty fields and filled with stars of the Milky Way center.
