The Galaxy Evolution

1. Rainbow of Galaxies

This image of the Cartwheel galaxy shows multi-wavelength observations from several NASA missions, including the Galaxy Evolution Explorer, whose data is seen in blue. The Hubble Space Telescope is in green, the Spitzer Space Telescope is in red and the Chandra X-ray Observatory is in purple.

2. Jellyfish Galaxy

Wispy tendrils of hot dust and gas glow brightly in this ultraviolet image of the Cygnus Loop nebula.

3. Plowing Through the Depths of Space

GALEX captured a second runaway star, similar to Mira, also speeding through the cosmos.

4. Dissecting a Galaxy

By combining ultraviolet data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer with infrared observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers get a clearer picture of the various components of a galaxy.
