Chandra, Webb Catch Twinkling Lights

This stellar landscape is reminiscent of a winter vista in a view from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (red, green, and blue). Chandra data (red, green and blue) punctuate the scene with bursts of colored lights representing high-energy activity from the active stars. via NASA https://ift.tt/DkpljOU
