[Interview+] Largest Image of The Heart of The Milky Way
The heart of the Milky Way is full of dust. This makes it super hard to observe. Fortunately, we have great tools like ALMA and JWST at our disposal which came together to image this really cool region. Finding out, what did they find there.

Yes, but where exactly is Trantor? 😊
Hmm, on the suppression of star formation in the galactic core, would there be enough shearing motion in the volume to be a disrupting factor? Or is there not much radial difference in rotational velocity even near the core (low shear)? Shearing motion is quite effective in disrupting structure formation in all sorts of other areas.
So cool once again! Its a very pleasant conversation that helps picturing everything in our minds 👍
We are in safe hands with Dr Ginsburg and Fraser steering us
What a great interview. So much info, I'm going to have to watch it again. Thank you for your channel and knowledge.
Took me a bit to find the full sized picture, is it ok to post a link here? If not please remove. https://www.eso.org/public/images/eso2603a/
