Multiwavelength Astronomy: Your World in Different Light Image from NASA

Infrared Dog Image from Cool Cosmos • False color images of a dog photographed in the infrared • Which parts are hottest? Coolest? Can you normally tell just by looking?

X-Ray Challenge • This X-Ray image was taken of a closed object. • What ordinary object do you think this is? • What are the bright areas made of?

3, 000 (K • nm) max = Temperature (K) max: wavelength of maximum intensity (in nanometers) K: Kelvin nm: nanometers

Galaxy Features This is a galaxy called M 33 viewed in 5 different wavelengths… Ultraviolet: Young, Hot Stars Visible: Infrared: Most Other Stars X-Ray: Hot Gas Dust Radio: Cool Gas
