Hydra A galaxy cluster
This image shows a radio (green and maroon) overlay of
the Chandra X-ray (pink, and blue) image of Hydra A.
Large magnetized bubbles of radio-emitting high-energy
particles expanding from the center of the cluster have
pushed through the 40 million degree X-ray emitting
gas. As the largest gravitationally bound objects in
the universe, galaxy clusters provide crucial clues for
understanding the origin and fate of the universe.
Hydra A is 840 million light years from Earth.
