This image from VISTA is a tiny part of the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey that is systematically studying the central parts of the Milky Way in infrared light. On the right lies the globular star cluster UKS 1 and on the left lies a much less conspicuous new discovery, VVV CL001 тАФ a previously unknown globular. The new globular appears as a faint grouping of stars about 25% of the width of the image from the left edge, and about 60% of the way from bottom to top. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

... The high angular resolution CGPS images of atomic hydrogen emission reveal a wide-spread, cold atomic hydrogen component of the interstellar medium in the form of dark self-absorption cloud complexes. These clouds resemble molecular cloud complexes in structure and trace the spiral arm structure of the Galaxy. ... Nevertheless, continuum absorption studies show that some of the cold atomic hydrogen clouds have temperatures as low as 15 - 20 K --- similar to dense molecular clouds. ...
