ISO Infrared Image of Antennae This infrared image, taken by the European Space Agency's Iinfrared Space Observatory, shows gas and dust heated to several hundred degrees by young stars.

Summary

Description	English: ISO Infrared Image of Antennae This infrared image, taken by the European Space Agency's Iinfrared Space Observatory, shows gas and dust heated to several hundred degrees by young stars. One of the Antennae galaxies shows a large ring of intense starmaking around the central nucleus. This feature is absent in the other galaxy. Another region of star formation extends along a line marking the overlap of the disks of the two galaxies, where the collision is strongest. Scale: Image is 13.7 arcmin on a side.

Short title	Superbubbles Bespeak Toil and Trouble
Image title	Chandra's spectacular image of the Antennae shows the central regions of two merging galaxies. The bright fuzzy patches are superbubbles thousands of light years in diameter that were produced by the accumulated power of thousands of supernovas. The dozens of bright point-like sources are neutron stars or black holes pulling gas off nearby stars. The remaining glow of X-ray emission could be due to many faint X-ray sources, or to clouds of hot gas in the galaxies.
