Galaxies colliding makes for impressive light display
Space is putting a new spin on holiday lights this year. NASA captured an image of two galaxies colliding.
The image is made up of a series of x-rays showing where shockwaves, or sonic booms, occur.
NASA scientists say each spiral arm is where a high number of stars are currently forming.
The two galaxies, NGC 2207 and IC 2163, are said to be about 130 million light-years from Earth.
And another space image is proving to be a phenomenon to the human eye. A photo of the 67P comet may look black and white, but it's actually in color.
According to the European Space Agency, what you're seeing is images that have been superimposed through red, green, and blue filters.
The comet can be found where the Rosetta Spacecraft landed last month, marking the first time ever scientists have landed something directly on a comet.
