The Bubbling Galactic Disk

The center of each bubble is identified by the filename, and 2-arcmin scalebars are included. All images have a color scale with blue, green, orange, and red assigned to IRAC bands [3.6], [4.5], [5.8], and [8.0] respectively, but the color ratios and stretches vary among the images. The bubble archive images have 1.2 arcsec pixels, while the featured bubbles have 0.6 arcsec pixels.
