X-Ray and Visible NGC 602 Wallpaper
Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space Telescope composite image of NGC 602 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The really purple blotches in this image are the x-ray-bright areas. The original image was square and the nebula looked a lot like a monster with sharp teeth... See chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2013/ngc602/ for more information and a larger image. A careful perusal of the image shows a lot of galaxies in the background.
