The Center of our Galaxy
The center of the Milky Way above the hills of Azul, Argentina. You should be able to recognize scorpius, sagitarius and several nebulas and clusters. The “tire” tracks from Antares to the Milky Way are clearly visible.

Simulated Baby Milky Way
A simulation of a galaxy made in the image of our own Milky Way gives us a glimpse into galactic history. This particular snapshot looks back 5 billion years.
The simulation, created at Durham University’s Institute for Computational Cosmology, suggests that the ancient stars which skirt the edges of the Milky Way – stars nearly as old as the universe itself – were not born in our galaxy but ripped out of smaller ones during collisions in the early cosmos.
