As seen by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, here is a rather nice composite of our own little galaxy.......A bright spot at the lower left is a blazar, a galactic nucleus where a supermassive black hole violently accelerates particles. The Crab Nebula, which hosts a spinning neutron star, appears as a bright spot on the right in the galactic plane. Most of the image is formed from cosmic radiation hitting clouds of gas in space.
