Jigsaw Puzzle : Abell 1689 galaxy cluster, X-ray image
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Abell 1689 galaxy cluster, X-ray image
Abell 1689 galaxy cluster. Combined Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO) image of the massive galaxy cluster Abell 1689. The purple haze is X-rays from hot gas between the galaxies, indicating that they may be in the process of merging. The galaxies (yellow) were observed by the HST. The long arcs are caused by gravitational lensing of background galaxies by matter in the galaxy cluster.Abell 1689 is located in the constellation of Virgo and is around 2.2 billion light years from Earth. The area seen here is hundreds of thousands of light years across. This image was obtained from 2004 to 2006, using the CXOs Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Abell 1689 galaxy cluster, a mesmerizing celestial spectacle located in the constellation of Virgo, approximately 2.2 billion light years away from Earth. The image is a composite of data collected between 2004 and 2006 by two powerful space observatories - the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO). The purple haze that permeates this cosmic vista represents X-rays emitted by intensely heated gas found amidst the galaxies within Abell 1689. This striking phenomenon suggests that these galactic entities may be undergoing a process of merging, creating an environment ripe with dynamic interactions. The yellow dots scattered throughout the image denote individual galaxies observed by HST, their luminous presence adding to the overall grandeur of this scene. Additionally, long arcs can be seen stretching across space, caused by gravitational lensing - a fascinating effect where matter within the galaxy cluster bends and distorts light from background galaxies. Spanning hundreds of thousands of light years across, this extraordinary snapshot offers us a glimpse into an intricate web woven within our vast universe. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our cosmos through cutting-edge technology like CXO's Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS). As we continue to explore and unravel its mysteries, images such as this inspire awe and wonder for both scientists and stargazers alike.
