Right: Ionized carbon intensity contours of the Sagittarius B region. The striped pattern is a scanning artifact due to the motion of the telescope. In both panels, crosses indicate the locations of the three star-forming cores of Sagittarius B2. Credit: Left: NASA/SOFIA/JPL-Caltech/ESA/Herschel; Right: Harris et al., 2021
