See with x-ray eyes

Objects in space rarely look the same in different wavelengths.

Here 3C58 changes quite dramatically moving from soft to hard x-rays and in radio.

Overlaying the x-ray on to of the visible gives and idea of the different scales of the object.

Finally, putting them all together gives an ‘artists rendering’ idea of how it might appear if we could see all of those images at once.
