Phantom Galaxy

M74

A face-on spiral so finely wound it looks almost like a drawing. Hubble, Webb, and Chandra each pick out a different population in the arms.

What you’re hearing

X-ray, infrared, and visible solos, or the stacked trio. Compact X-ray sources sparkle over the continuous wash of the spiral.
