Astronomer's new guide to the galaxy: Largest map of cold dust revealed
Eureka! Science News - Popular science news — ... the mass of our Sun. In addition, ATLASGAL has captured images of beautiful filamentary structures and bubbles in the interstellar medium, blown by supernovae and the winds of bright stars. Some striking highlights of the map include the centre of the Milky Way, the nearby massive and dense cloud of molecular gas called Sagittarius B2, and a bubble of expanding gas called RCW120, where the interstellar medium around the bubble is collapsing and forming new stars (see ESO 40/08 - http://www.eso.org/public/outreach/press-rel/pr-2008/pr-40-08.html ).
