This
picture represents the brightness of the full sky as seen in infrared light.
The bright yellow-orange line across the center of the image arises from
interstellar dust in the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy, with the center
of the Galaxy at the center of the image. The red color above and below
this line shows additional wispy clouds of interstellar dust. The blue S-shaped
color arises from interplanetary dust in the solar system. |
