(AP) - This 2009 handout image provided by NASA is a composite image from a number of telescopes, including NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, which shows a space blob in both optical and infrared light. The blob is the yellow mass of gas. Inside it is an adolescent galaxy in white. The red spots are galaxies seen in the infrared spectrum.

(Reuters) - Three baby stars are seen in the center of our Milky Way galaxy in this infrared image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope released by NASA June 10, 2009. The three stars are the first to be discovered in the region -- previous attempts to find them were unsuccessful because there is so much dust standing between us and our galaxy's core. Spitzer was able to find the newborns with its sharp infrared eyes, which can cut through dust. REUTERS/NASA-CAL /Handout (UNITED STATES SCI TECH) FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY.
