The new Chandra X-ray images include a galaxy flying at 1.5 million mph with massive trailing tails and the remnants of exploded stars.
Another image of the Kepler supernova remnant reveals the remains of a white dwarf star that exploded in a massive thermonuclear reaction. The Chandra data in the image below is represented in blue, revealing the extent of the cataclysmic blast.
The red in the image represents data from NASA's retired Spitzer Space Telescope and the faint traces of cyan and yellow are optical light captured by Hubble, showing the debris of the destroyed star.The image below of the galaxy ESO 137-001 shows a galaxy with trailing tails made of superheated gas detected by Chandra in X-rays that are represented in blue.
The galaxy is moving through space at 1.5 million miles per hour, leaving two tails in its wake. The red in the image represents light from hydrogen atoms captured by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. Optical and infrared data from Hubble is visible in the colors orange and cyan.
This image also shows data from NASA's $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope in red, green, and blue. James Webb has been performing science operations for more than a year now and NASA recently revealed a new image of
