Astrophysics Multiwavelength Vertical Video

0:00 A multicolored galaxy fills the screen. Text reads, “M82 Cigar Galaxy Multiwavelength.” 0:04 This composite image from @NASAChandraXray, @NASAHubble (optical), and Spitzer (infrared) shows a wispy hourglass in light blue surrounded by blazing red. A bright yellow and green band slashes across its center. 0:09 Chandra, NuSTAR (also X-ray), and the National Optical Astronomy Observatory's 2.1-meter telescope at Kitt Peak (optical) reveal a simpler version of the galaxy in teal and pink. A small magenta region reveals a mighty pulsar at its core. 0:13 Swift’s ultraviolet image is fuzzy and faint, with large colorful dots around the galaxy. 0:18 Hubble’s optical image highlights brown webs across the glowing central band and flame-like plumes of red blasting out from the galaxy’s center. 0:23 Spitzer’s infrared image shows a cloud of red with a hazy pale blue belt, speckled with countless blue dots. 0:28 A radio image from the National Science Foundation’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array is the simplest, with a small smudge of fuzzy yellow across the darkness of space. 0:33 The NASA insignia appears on a black background.

0:00 A swirling spiral galaxy with white arms and a pink center. Text reads, “M33 Triangulum Galaxy Multiwavelength.” 0:05 @NASAChandraXray’s X-ray image shows a dozen bright pink dots amidst fainter speckles. 0:09 Swift’s ultraviolet image, speckled with red and white dots, shows pink, clumpy arms swirling around a brighter central region. 0:13 GALEX’s image, also ultraviolet, has a similar structure in bright white with small yellow dots. 0:18 An infrared image from Spitzer shows the galaxy in green and yellow, with orange-red star-forming regions along the arms, amidst a sea of red and blue speckles. 0:23 WISE’s infrared view is primarily blue and green, with several bright yellow-orange stellar nurseries. 0:28 Data from Herschel, Planck, IRAS, COBE, and ground-based telescopes show the galaxy in infrared, microwave, and radio. It is strikingly different, a web-like oval in red, yellow, and green, with very few foreground or background objects visible.

0:00 A wispy rainbow-hued cloud amidst starry space. Text asks, “Why do we explore in so many types of light?” 0:05 Text adds, “When 5 telescopes looked at the Crab Nebula, they each revealed different features” 0:08 A red view of the remnant is missing details, including the stars. Text reads, “Radio, NSF’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array” 0:11 A fuzzy yellow is view labeled “Infrared, NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope” 0:15 Webbed loops and a few stars reappear in a green view with the text “Visible, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope” 0:18 More stars appear with a wispy blue cloud, labeled “Ultraviolet, ESA’s XMM-Newton” 0:22 The final view resembles a purple toy top. The bright spot of the remnant’s central pulsar has a stream of material extending downward. Text reads, “X-ray, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory” 0:25 The images cycle quickly with the text “By combining their perspectives” 0:28 The original multicolor image of the Crab Nebula returns, with “we can learn more about how the universe works!”
