4 STRIKING DESTINATIONS TOWARDS THE LIGHT

Light is our journey guide as we set off deep into the cosmos to visit four spectacular destinations. Join us and let NASA James Webb and Chandra Xray lead the way!

4 STRIKING DESTINATIONS TOWARDS THE LIGHT

Our first stop on this tour is our nearest target, about 390 light years away. Rho Opiuchi is a popular region for astronomers to study stars. X-rays from Chandra are purple, revealing young stars that are glowing and producing X-rays. James Webb's infrared data are red, yellow, cyan and blue.

Our next stop is the Orion Nebula: This region is a little further away, about 1,500 light years away. Here Chandra reveals young stars glowing in X-rays in red, green and blue colours, while James Webb shows the gas and dust (in darker red) that will help form the galaxy's next star cluster.

4 STRIKING DESTINATIONS TOWARDS THE LIGHT

After leaving the Milky Way, our destination is a spiral galaxy seen at a slight angle. X-rays from Chandra in violet indicate the presence of a supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy, while James Webb shows dust, gas and stars in red, green and blue. This image also includes optical data from Hubble in red, green and blue.

4 STRIKING DESTINATIONS TOWARDS THE LIGHT

Our last stop is the most distant and the largest! MACS J0416 is a galaxy cluster, one of the largest gravitationally bound objects in the universe. Galaxy clusters can contain hundreds or thousands of individual galaxies, all surrounded by vast amounts of superheated gas. Chandra's purple X-rays show this hot gas, while Hubble and James Webb show individual galaxies in red, green and blue.
