got obsessed with the space telescopes for a lil while hehehe. revamped my designs for jwst and hst and tried my hand at designing some of the other "great observatories" as well! i like to think hubble, spitzer, and chandra are all siblings (and james is just kinda crashing the party here).

some extra thoughts under the readmore

Astronomers used three of NASA's Great Observatories to capture this multiwavelength image showing galaxy cluster IDCS J1426.5+3508. It includes X-rays recorded by the Chandra X-ray Observatory in blue, visible light observed by the Hubble Space Telescope in green, and infrared light from the Spitzer Space Telescope in red. This rare galaxy cluster has important implications for understanding how these megastructures formed and evolved early in the universe.

How Astronomers Time Travel

Let’s add another item to your travel bucket list: the early universe! You don’t need the type of time machine you see in sci-fi movies, and you don’t have to worry about getting trapped in the past. You don’t even need to leave the comfort of your home! All you need is a powerful space-based telescope.

But let’s start small and work our way up to the farthest reaches of space. We’ll explain how it all works along the way.

For 30 Doradus to look like this, it needs data in X-ray, visible, infrared, and radio wavelengths. Data from the Hubble Space Telescope was paired up with data from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, Spitzer Space Telescope, and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array to produce this composite image.

The massive young stars in 30 Doradus send out strong winds into space. Along with the matter and energy ejected by stars that have previously exploded, these winds have carved out arcs, pillars, and bubbles.

A dense cluster in the center of the nebula contains the most massive stars astronomers have ever found, each only about one to 2 million years old. (Our sun, for comparison, is about 5 billion years old.)
