Chandra Adds X-Ray Vision to Webb Images

Chandra released an image titled “NASA’s Chandra Adds X-ray Vision to Webb Images” on 10/4/22. X-rays from Chandra have been combined with infrared data from early publicly released James Webb Space Telescope images. These four objects were among the first images released by the telescope after it finished its commissioning process. Chandra data generally show higher-energy phenomena (like superheated gas and the remnants of exploded stars) than Webb’s infrared view. Astronomers plan to combine data from these telescopes for many different objects in the future.
