Here's a break from the news — a new episode of "A Way with Words"! waywordradio.org/minor-planets/ Naming heavenly bodies, airplane maneuvers, expressive lengthening, pinkletinks, all stove up, footloose and fancy-free, a punny quiz, gray vs. grey, how to pronounce mayonnaise, and more.

Data from NASA's Great Observatories has been combined to produce this unprecedented image of the central region of the Milky Way.  Near-infrared light from Hubble (yellow) outlines energetic regions where stars are being born.  Infrared data from Spitzer (red) show glowing clouds of dust containing complex structures.  And, X-rays from Chandra (blue and violet) reveal gas heated to millions of degrees by stellar explosion and outflows from the Galaxys supermassive black hole.
