NASA took to Instagram to share a series of images showing the beauty of the incredible Whirlpool Galaxy. The space agency shared that while some are composite images created with data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, others were prepared using data from the Hubble Space Telescope.
“Shedding some light on spiral galaxies. At a distance of about 30 million light years from Earth, the Whirlpool Galaxy is one of the brightest spirals in the night sky. “This composite image of the Whirlpool Galaxy shows the majesty of its structure in a dramatic new way across several of NASA’s orbital observatories,” NASA posted and wrote about the first image in the series on Instagram. In the next line, they urge Internet users to “slide through different spectrums” to see the galaxy through “new lenses.”
“X-ray image of the Whirlpool galaxy. The Chandra image highlights in purple the energetic central regions of the two interacting galaxies that together are called the Whirlpool Galaxy,” NASA added about the second image.
