Journey to the centre of the galaxy..
"A new immersive, 360-degree, ultra-high-definition visualization allows viewers to view the center of our Galaxy as if they were sitting in the position of the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole (Sgr A*). By combining supercomputer simulations with Chandra data, the visualization shows the effects of dozens of massive stellar giants with fierce winds blowing off their surfaces in the region covering a few light years surrounding Sgr A*. Blue and cyan represent X-ray emission from hot gas with temperatures of tens of millions of degrees, while the red emission shows ultraviolet emission from moderately dense regions of cooler gas with temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees, and yellow shows the cooler gas with the highest densities."

- the comments on this really expose the collective stupidity and misunderstanding of how the moon orbits the earth, and how cameras workmonospaced
- so many dunces going on about how there aren't stars in the photo and can't figure out how the moon was lit (it's the sun, retards).monospaced

China lands on dark side of the moon
but seriously, what's with the logo? Are the Chinese incapable of original creative thought? is everything there just a cheap knockoff of something else?
They have the world's biggest economy, they have 1.3 billion people, they can't do better than this for their space logo?- even their rover is a knock-off of the spirit mars roverhans_glib
