This composite image shows a dramatically colorful scene. There are green, blue, and orange gas clouds at top left and a large, wispy, a supernova remnant which appears as a red oval ring at lower right. The oddly-behaving star sits inside that oval ring; a tiny purple speck (with a white circle around it) in a sea of colorful specks. In this composite image, X-rays from Chandra (blue) have been combined with infrared data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope (cyan, light blue, teal and orange), and radio from LOFAR (red).
