Poly the bright spot is a star the galaxies are the lines with a bump in the middle. the colors are synthetic representations they use a pink color to show the hot gases in this case and the blue represents the areas of dark matter.. I do know these photographs are black and white because two of the photographs are taken by the space telescopes and the third by the European telescope in Chili there is a lot of work done to create the color pictures as it requires a lot of data beyond the pictures.. the color allows non astronomers to understand some what what they are talking about.
I to love watching the skies although here in the netherlans they are not as good as they are in my home in Montana. where a belonged to an astronomy club that had a lot of the geeks that creat those type of pictures.. it I was lost they could straighten it off and my farm had an area of near dark sky. Lord knows how many hours of exposure it to acquire those pictures On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 7:45 AM, archytas <[email protected]> wrote: > Presumably the dark matter is a synthetic representation.
