Description
This composite image of NGC 281 contains X-ray data from Chandra (purple) with infrared observations from Spitzer (red, green, blue). The high-mass stars in NGC 281 drive many aspects of their galactic environment through powerful winds flowing from their surfaces and intense radiation that heats surrounding gas, "boiling it away" into interstellar space. This process results in the formation of large columns of gas and dust, as seen on the left side of the image. These structures likely contain newly forming stars. The eventual deaths of massive stars as supernovas will also seed the galaxy with material and energy.
A colorful abstract nebula image makes a wonderful gift idea for the astronomer or fine art collector. Photographs from space make an amazing visual statement in your home! This Hubble/Spitzer image that I have retouched and restored this photo using special fine art enhancements. I have edited this high resolution image to bring you maximum quality and take artistic license with the photos to bring you a fresh new version.
