NASA has recently released a new image of the nearby galaxy Messier 101 made by combining data from the Spitzer, Hubble, and Chandra space telescopes. It's pretty amazing, and you can see light produced from lots of different objects in this galaxy, from the coldest and densest gas to the hottest gas. To check it out, go here. Enjoy!
