Using infrared light, astronomers can now see right through the dust-filled central parts of the Milky Way and spot many previously hidden objects - including two unknown and very distant Cepheid variable stars that lie almost directly behind the nebula. These are the first such stars found that lie in the central plane of the Milky Way beyond its central bulge. Using infrared light, VISTA can see far beyond the Trifid and detect objects on the other side of the galaxy that have never been seen before. Please rate and comment, thanks!

So breathtakingly beautiful! 5 stars! 2 thumbs up! Lol. What I realy, realy want to see though- is a clear picture of all those stars or planets or whatever they are, that are passed by while focusing on the distant object of the moment. Surely I'm not the only one curious? I mean, the big pic is awesome, but there's alot in-between. I don't care if they're just suns. I wanna see it ALL!! :-D
