    This new infrared-based image of the center of the Milky Way Galaxy is one of the most detailed yet.
    It was taken by the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) telescope, an airborne observatory, which flies around on a Boeing 747SP jetliner.
    Astronomers will use this image as a guide to direct future imaging projects taken up by the James Webb Space Telescope.

Really looking forward the Webb, and all we learn from it.

Will be fascinating.
