ALT A composite NASA Chandra X-ray and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) optical image of the galaxy NGC 4559 located about 30 million light-years from Earth. The Chandra data shows X-ray point sources represented in purple, and the SDSS data shows the galaxy and foreground and background objects in red and blue. The luminous blue variable and supernova impostor AT 2016blu is in the middle of the small square. X-ray: NASA/CXC/Univ. of Virgina/M. Aghakhanloo et al.; Optical: SDSS; Image Processing: NASA/CXC/SAO/P. Edmonds

ALT A sinuous spiral galaxy (center) appears in the same field of view as a vivid gravitational lens (right corner) in this Hubble image. The lens consists of a reddish elliptical foreground galaxy and the blue arcs of a magnified background galaxy. NASA, ESA, and X.

ALT This is a composite image of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 4725 against a black background filled with stars and distant galaxies. The galaxy appears tilted diagonally, with a bright cream-colored central bar surrounded by a soft blue disk. A single prominent spiral arm wraps around the galaxy, giving it an unusual one-armed appearance. Small magenta points scattered throughout the galaxy represent X-ray sources detected by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. The galaxy is encircled by a faint ring of star formation, while bright foreground stars sparkle throughout the surrounding field of view.

ALT This image, taken with Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys, reveals bright-blue regions along the galaxy’s disk dotted with dark dust lanes where new stars are likely forming. A bright foreground star appears just to the left of the galaxy’s bright central bulge but is located between us and the galaxy. Its four diffraction spikes are the result of light bending around the internal supports that hold Hubble’s secondary mirror.
