The Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX)The MSX astronomy experiments included mapping the entire Galactic Plane and surveying the IRAS gaps. Raster scan mapping provided deep surveys of selected regions in the Galactic Plane, primarily in the inner Galaxy, large molecular clouds, H II regions and other areas of star formation as well as asteroids and comets. Source catalogs from the Galactic Plane and IRAS gaps surveys and, separately, the Large Magellanic Cloud are available as well as a preliminary explanatory supplement. The Air Force Research Laboratory also created full resolution images and large scale panoramas of the Galactic Plane. These images in four mid-infrared colors are also available in this release. |
