This image combines infrared, optical, and X-ray data from the Spitzer Space Telescope, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Chandra X-ray Observatory into a dazzling view of the center of our galaxy. Many of the stars surrounding the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole are arrayed in a narrow disk, and the cause for this arrangement is unknown. A new theory suggests that when a star is disrupted by a black hole, it causes new stars to form in the exact arrangement we observe. You can learn more about this proposed theory in our AAS Nova highlight and the corresponding research article in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. [NASA, ESA, SSC, CXC, and STScI]
