NASA's telescopes combine to reveal stunning views of the cosmos.

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and James Webb Space Telescope have collaborated to produce composite images of galaxies, a nebula, and a cluster of stars that are invisible to humans. The images reveal plumes and arcs of gas and dust, which serve as material for the formation of stars and planets. The James Webb Space Telescope has exceeded expectations, and the space observatory could easily exceed its expected 10-year lifespan.

NASA's Chandra, Webb, and Hubble create stunning composite images of space.

NASA has created four stunning composite images by combining X-ray data from Chandra Observatory, optical light data from Hubble Space Telescope, and infrared information from Spitzer Space Telescope. The images showcase the capabilities of each telescope and reveal details about star clusters, spiral galaxies, and nebulae. The data from James Webb Space Telescope adds even more detail to the images, including plumes and arcs of gas and dust that stars and planets use as source material during their formation.
