GLIMPSE (Galactic Legacy Infrared MidPlane Survey
Extraordinaire) is a Spitzer Legacy Project awarded 400 hours
to map the inner longitudes (10 < l < 65 degrees) of the
Galactic plane ( |b| < 1 degree) at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0
microns using the IRAC detector. With a sky coverage of 220 square
degrees, this survey is the largest and most panoramic of the
all of the Spitzer Legacy programs. I will present some of the
first results of this project, including new constraints on the
stellar structure of the Galaxy and distribution of Galactic star
formation.
