Beautiful Multiwavelength Cosmic Images #SpaceSaturday

Even when you’re looking at the night sky through a telescope, with the visible wavelength available to the human eye, the objects in the cosmos can look amazing. But when NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory renders images in other wavelengths, the results are astonishing. Here’s more from Astronomy Now:

Each of these images contains data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory as well as other telescopes. Various types of objects are shown (galaxies, supernova remnants, stars, planetary nebulas), but together they demonstrate the possibilities when data from across the electromagnetic spectrum are assembled.
