this is an image they share of the whirlpool galaxy (M51), as seen thru the lenses of many different space telescopes. looks like they've combined images from most of NASA's great obseratories: x-ray from chandra, infrared from spitzer, optical from hubble, and maybe ultraviolet from GALEX (but i'm not sure about the UV).

AstroPixie,
Cool survey. I like your blog. Occasionaly I post astronomy related information, with my own twisted commentary on my blog. BTW, where was the picture of you and the comet taken? It almost looks like dawn from Mauna Kea.

Hi! Your post is really interesting. Like you, I also have deep interest in astronomy and astrophotography. I just want to share with you my recently discovered site and see what they are doing with tiny cheap camera. See here: http://zookland.com/
