My favorite of the wavelengths presented is radio, as right in the middle you see a bright radio source that I'm guessing is Sagittarius A, (probably) the location of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole.

To the upper right of that, another notable radio source is Centaurus A, the spiral-looking blob at roughly -50°, 20°.

Yeah, I like that spot too, this region is also pretty active in the gamma-ray-spectrum.
The insanity of this region blew my mind when I first read about it.
