These great hollow globes of artificial super-metals, and artificial transparent adamant, ranged in size from the earliest and smallest structures, which were no bigger than a very small asteroid, to spheres considerably larger than the Earth. (Olaf Stapledon, STAR MAKER)

MeerKATs Online
Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day brings us an image built from data at the radio range (hence, not "visible" to the ordinary person). The MeerKAT array peers at the center of our galaxy to see what is lurking there. "Mouseover" the image in the link for details.
The MeerKAT is only the precursor for the Square Kilometer Array. Can't wait to find out what that learns when it comes online!
