MPEG
Beginning with a wide-field optical view, this sequence of Andromeda
Galaxy images moves into an X-ray look of the central region. In this
Chandra image, red represents lower energy, green as medium energy, and
finally blue as the highest energy X-rays that Chandra detects. This
sequence also shows a composite of X-ray and infrared light, before
returning to the Chandra-only view.
