This new view of spiral galaxy IC 342 (Caldwell 5) includes data from NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR). High-energy X-ray data from NuSTAR have been translated to the color magenta and superimposed on a visible-light view highlighting the galaxy and its star-studded arms. NuSTAR is the first orbiting telescope to take focused pictures of the cosmos in high-energy X-ray light. ...

... What ChaMP does is put together X-ray observations from the satellite Chandra and, using and optical and x-ray surveys, will ultimately put together a multiwavelength database that will be accesible to all. ... ChaMP uses the X-ray observations taken from the Chandra X-ray satellite and compares them with images of the same star field ( group of stars in an image ) in an optical picture. They find the coodornates of the x-ray sources in both the x-ray images and the optical images. ...
