Spitzer Detects the "Heartbeat" of Star Formation in the Milky Way Galaxy
NASA JPL Caltech sig10-003 - 2010 March 10
Astronomers have used NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope rather like a doctor's stethoscope to listen in on the "heartbeat" of star formation in our galaxy, a finding that will help trace the "life" of the Milky Way and other galaxies.

That should be California Institute of Technology, or Caltech. Never CalTech.
