The week in pictures: 27 May 2011 - Telegraph

If i've read it correctly, the 'visible spectrum' bit is running slightly uphill left to right, and the top and bottom bits are the radio wave particles coming from the black hole at the centre? (one million light years... sigh... will i ever get my head around how big some of this stuff is!!)
