The Hubble Space Telescope captured a stunning view of the Milky Way's core 27,000 light-years away.

The stunning footage was published to YouTube on May 3, and features an in-depth glimpse at the densely packed stars that compose our galaxy. Located at the very center is a supermassive black hole with a mass about 4 million times that of our sun, according to the Hubble YouTube page.
