NASA Chandra X-ray galaxy imagery release

Overview

NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, in collaboration with several other telescopes including the James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope, has released a new gallery of images showcasing distant galaxies.

The imagery utilizes X-ray data to observe phenomena invisible to optical telescopes, such as gas heated to millions of degrees, black hole outflows, and supernova debris. The collection features 16 images categorized into spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies. Specific observations highlight various cosmic processes, including how central structures in barred spirals direct fuel to trigger star formation, how galactic collisions stimulate star birth, and the presence of particle jets and energy from active galactic nuclei.
