NASA has introduced a dazzling new space -visual collection from the Chandra X -ray observatory, capturing impressive stars, sprays and galactic activities in an unprecedented detail.
The collection shows nine composite images that combine Chandra X -ray data In view of observations of other spaces and ground telescopes throughout the infrared, optical and radio spectrum, taking into account a statement Release of new images on Wednesday (July 23).
Among the most important events are the spectacular images of the N79 of the Star Formation Region in the big Magellanic cloud, the vibrant spiral galaxies M83 and the NGC 1068 and the bird’s own road itself Westerlund 1 – The most massive stars cluster in our galaxy and one of the closest Super Star clusters to our solar system. Each image illustrates the unique Chandra ability to detect a lot of energy -consuming phenomena such as star winds, Supernova residues and the activity of the black hole.

Stunning new image N79 -Nerm, covering around 1630 light -years, with huge clouds of gas and dust acts as a star kindergarten, was created using Chandra X -ray and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) infrared data. X -rays reveals hot gas created by Young Stars to help astronomers better understand how the stars, like our sun, have been a billion years ago, a billion years ago, officials said in a statement.

The Spiral Galaxy M83 is captured on the face, providing a clear image of its entire structure. Chandra X -ray reveals the remnants of widespread stars or SupernovaAlthough ground optical observations emphasize his broad hands and hot, young blue stars and cooler, older reds.

Another scratched spiral galaxy shown in this latest collection is the NGC 1068 located quite close to the Milky Way. This is central Black hole Twice as massive than ours, of whom a million miles per hour winds and illuminates the Galaxy core in the X -ray, captured by Chandra.
Composite image NGC 1068 It also includes radio observations from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in a very large array (VLA) in New Mexico, as well as optical data from the Habble Space Telescope and JWST. At the same time, the data reveals the different layers of galaxy structure and energy processes, which were highlighted by the bright golden light in the image.

The latest chandra gaze on the Westerlund 1 gives a dazzling Star Clash image, rich in intense stars. Chandra X -ray data along with JWST observations and HablasReveals thousands of stars emitting X -rays in this noisy stars nursery.

Other displayed targets are a collision galaxy pair IC 1623, Starburst Galaxy M82 With their X-rays, the Hotbots IC 348 and NGC 346 and the Edge-On Spiral Galaxy Galaxy NGC 2146, which boasts a dusty hand that blocks its center view from the Earth’s perspective.

Now, for more than 25 years, the Chandra remains one of the most powerful space telescopes in NASA for more than 25 years, providing extremely sharp images that help astronomers in detail the space structures.
