using data from two such telescopes — NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory

pieced together the most comprehensive picture yet of our galaxy's

signals.</p><p>This image is an "unprecedented" view of the galactic center, plus the mysterious structures towering above and below it, <a href="https://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2021/gcenter/index.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>according to a statement</u></a> from Chandra researchers.</p><p>"The
new panorama of the galactic center builds on previous surveys from
Chandra and other telescopes," the researchers wrote in the statement.
"This latest version expands Chandra's high-energy view farther above
and below the plane of the galaxy — that is, the disk where most of the
galaxy's stars reside" — than any previous imaging campaign, combining
370 separate observations from Chandra, the team added."</p><p><a href="https://www.livescience.com/milky-way-center-composite-view-image.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.livescience.com/milky-way-center-composite-view-image.html</a></p>
