This dreamy photo combines visible light from the Hubble Space Telescope (the purples) and high-frequency light from the Chandra X-ray Observatory (the blues) to showcase the activity at this extremely active star-forming region, called NGC 604, located within Messier 33. (French astronomer Charles Messier began spotting and cataloguing nebulae and star clusters in the early 1700s.) What we can’t really see are the roughly 200 lively young stars in this area, which are the source for NGC 604’s glowing gas and dust puffs.NASA
