These include Sagittarius A * - a supermassive black hole weighing 4 million times the mass of the Sun and millions of degrees Celsius gas clouds. They also appear in NASA's colorful photograph.

Also in the picture, neutrons and white dwarfs can be observed ripping material from double stars.

The scientists believe that this new image will help to learn more about the formation of the Milky Way, thus providing further insights into more distant galaxies.

It also gives scientists a chance to learn more about Sagittarius A *, the giant black hole 26,000 light-years from Earth.
