A Closer Look at Abell 2125
QuickTime
MPEG
This sequence shows different views of the galaxy cluster known as Abell
2125. The first image is Chandra's X-ray view where red, green, and blue
represent low, medium, and high-energy X-rays respectively. The view then
dissolves into an image of Abell 2125's core where red is optical emission,
and green and blue reveal the X-ray structure. Finally, the sequence zooms
into a close-up of C153, a galaxy that's being ripped apart as it travels
through the Abell 2125 cluster. Here, the red color represents visible
light as seen by Hubble, and green and blue once again show the X-ray
emission observed by Chandra.
