| Description: (a) An optical image in the direction of Sagittarius, toward the Milky Way’s center. The dark regions are interstellar gas and dust clouds that prevent visible light from beyond them from reaching us. (b) An infrared image of the same area of the sky, showing many more distant stars whose infrared radiation passes through the clouds and is collected by our telescopes.
