Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "The Galactic Center in Stars, Gas, and Magnetism." There's a lot going on in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy: visible, radio, and X-ray light, coupled with magnetic fields, supernova remnants, and newly formed stars are all at play in an area less than one thousand light years across. Not to mention a central black hole. Pretty good fireworks show, eh?

Amboy Dukes 1968 Journey To The Center Of The Mind
Featuring Ted Nugent. Aired on The Golden Age of Rock and RollFrom our Vhs Master to DVD
Thank you my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for Wednesday, June 2, 2021 entitled "The Galactic Center in Stars, Gas, and Magnetism."

To God be the glory in all things.
APOD background
"Explanation: What's going on near the center of our galaxy? To help find out, a newly detailed panorama has been composed that explores regions just above and below the galactic plane in radio and X-ray light. X-ray light taken by the orbiting Chandra Observatory is shown in orange (hot), green (hotter), and purple (hottest) and superposed with a highly detailed image in radio waves, shown in gray, acquired by the MeerKAT array. Interactions are numerous and complex. Galactic beasts such as expanding supernova remnants, hot winds from newly formed stars, unusually strong and colliding magnetic fields, and a central supermassive black hole are all battling in a space only 1000 light years across. Thin bright stripes appear to result from twisting and newly connecting magnetic fields in colliding regions, creating an energetic type of inner galactic space weather with similarities to that created by our Sun. Continued observations and study hold promise to not only shed more light on the history and evolution of our own galaxy -- but all galaxies."
