The Case of the Warped Galactic Ring Wall Art including Frame t-shirt Composite image of the AbellIn a strange twist of science, astronomers using the Herschel Space Observatory have discovered that a suspected ring at the center of our galaxy is warped for reasons they cannot explain. This image from Herschel, an infrared European Space Agency led mission with important NASA contributions, reveals the ring with greater clarity than ever before. It can be seen as the yellow loop that appears to have two lobes. In fact, the ring, which is a
