This took longer than I expected. Chandra's observations of this area of the sky are numerous, and combining them turned out to be complex.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This took longer than I expected. Chandra's observations of this area of the sky are numerous, and combining them turned out to be complex. I admit I found myself losing patience with it, especially since this view is not exactly something unseen before. You may have seen it before, though that image also contains radio data. I'd love to also include radio data, but that's some of the hardest data to process, and I can't see myself doing it... ever, really.

Definitely check out the numerous articles on the Perseus Cluster if you'd like to learn more about how this crazy black hole in the center of this galaxy is doing things on a ridiculously epic scale in spacetime. chandra.si.edu/search_results.html?cx=0033617573934318283...

Chandra processing information only: Data from a multitude of observations were combined to create the x-ray image, shown here as a blue screen over the Hubble data.

Hubble processing information only: Data from the following proposal were used to create this image: The filaments of NGC1275

A luminosity layer was created by using pseudogreen in the green channel instead of F550M. Helps make the tendrils much more visible.

North is up.
