NASA has released amazing pictures produced by merging Chandra X-Ray Observatory data.
HIGHLIGHTS
R Aquarii is the first photograph in the Instagram post.
The second image shows the Guitar Nebula and an x-ray stream (pink) from a pulsar.
The third depicts galaxies colliding and merging.
WHY IN NEWS
NASA has posted three photographs from the universe to social media, emphasising the teamwork between its two observatories. The partnership demonstrated what kinds of images may be created when two wavelengths of light are used to gaze at the same thing. The photos were obtained by merging data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-Ray Observatory on the ground, according to NASA. The end result is breathtaking. 'We can completely explore cosmic occurrences by merging data from telescopes that can detect multiple kinds of light,' the organisation stated.

It explains how images are made by mixing two different data sets. According to NASA, the universe generates light and energy in a variety of forms, and Chandra X-observing Ray's capabilities enable researchers to investigate very hot and intense processes throughout the universe. R Aquarii is the subject of the first image in the Instagram post. In truth, this is a pair of stars orbiting each other, one a constantly burning white dwarf star and the other a very variable red giant. The material from the red giant is drawn onto the white dwarf's surface. When enough material has gathered, an explosion occurs. The Hubble data is shown in red and blue in this image, while Chandra X-Ray data is shown in purple.

The Guitar Nebula is depicted in the second image, together with an x-ray stream (in pink) ejected from a pulsar approximately perpendicular to the nebula. The Guitar Nebula gets its name from its optical light form (blue, or appearing as a hollow guitar). After a clash between such a spiral galaxy and a smaller galaxy, the third one shows galaxies merging. This gravitational interaction has the potential to cause star formation waves. The Hubble Space Telescope's optical image was blended with Chandra's X-Ray data (in purple) (red, green, and blue). Given the complicated process of combining data sets from two observatories and the incredible results that arise, NASA appropriately labelled the release, 'By our powers combing .
