The Whirlpool Galaxy - Sparkling with X-Rays

Nearly a million seconds of observing time with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed a spiral galaxy similar to the Milky Way glittering with hundreds of X-ray points of light.

This galaxy’s official name is Messier 51 (M51) or NGC 5194, but it  often goes by its nickname of the “Whirlpool Galaxy.” Like the Milky Way, the Whirlpool is a spiral galaxy with spectacular arms of stars and dust. M51 is located about 30 million light years from Earth, and its face-on orientation to Earth gives us a perspective that we can never get of our own spiral galactic home.

By using Chandra, astronomers can peer into the Whirlpool to uncover things that can only be detected in X-rays. In this new composite image, Chandra data are shown in purple. Optical data from the Hubble Space Telescope are red, green, and blue.

“We’re still getting reports from Yousewell that are … somewhat suspect,” Grumman said as he moved his bishop to block the path of Roy’s rook. “But Central doesn’t seem concerned. I don’t think they’ve even read the last two memos I sent.”

Roy took his time considering the board. “The last unit they sent out that way never made it.”

“Yes, and we know how that worked out.”

This is a great likeness!  Poor sad Roy - you need to draw Ed to make him feel better.

More playing with naturalism. This time depressed!Roy. Just because.He misses his Ed.

There is a thin, semantic line separating weird and beautiful. And that line is covered in jellyfish.
