Walter Baade realized that in this region one peers through a gap in the Milky Way's dust clouds to the stars that form the distant central bulge of the galaxy.
The links above allow you to zoom in on Baade's window and glimpse the unimaginable density of stars in the galaxy's central bulge region. The annotated links are marked with constellation lines to assist you to locate Baade's Window in the sky.
