NASA Unveils Stunning Images of Galaxies, Supernova Remnants, Stars, and Planetary Nebulas
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has captured a new compilation of images that showcase the combination of data from different missions and telescopes that collect different kinds of light.
Each of the said images contains data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, the tool that provided the X-ray view of the objects in the collection, and other telescopes as well.
“Humanity has “eyes” that can detect all different types of light through telescopes around the globe and a fleet of observatories in space. From radio waves to gamma rays, this “multiwavelength” approach to astronomy is crucial to getting a complete understanding of objects in space.”
– NASA, on “NASA’s Chandra Opens Treasure Trove of Cosmic Delights”, Septepber 4, 2020
Their new collection of photos are made up of two (2) galaxies, a galaxy cluster, supernova remnant, double star system, and a planetary nebula. Together, as stated by NASA, these various types of objects demonstrate the possibilities when data from across the electromagnetic spectrum are assembled.
Here are Some of the Photos
