The brightest have thin spikes of light extending from them, many of which overlap.\r\n0:02 The text “Westerlund 1: Multiwavelength” appears.\r\n0:09 The cluster of stars shines brightly in light blue in the shape of a footprint, with a smaller number of stars marked with spikes of light in an optical and infrared view from @NASAHubble.\r\n0:14 The optical and infrared view from the Wide Field Imager on the European Southern Observatory’s MPG/ESO ground-based telescope shows a slightly fuzzier look at the star cluster, now appearing in shades of orange and red.\r\n0:19 An optical view from Hubble shows a rainbow of stars with a handful that appear brighter and orb-like.\r\n0:24 Stars dot a bright pink cloud surrounded by an orange glow and a small ball of teal and blue near the bottom in the X-ray view from @NASAChandraXray.\r\n0:29 The image of Westerlund 1 then spins and zooms out to the gamma-ray view from Fermi. At the center is a bright orange blob shaped roughly like a bowling pin. It is surrounded by layers of red-orange and purple against a dark background.\r\n0:35 The video fades to black with a NASA insignia.", "items": [ { "id": 503000, "type": "media", "extra_data": null, "title": null, "caption": "", "instance": { "id": 1159980, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014700/a014798/Westerlund1ReelCaptions.en_US.srt", "filename": "Westerlund1ReelCaptions.en_US.srt", "media_type": "Captions", "alt_text": "", "label": "English", "language_code": "en-US" } }, { "id": 503001, "type": "media", "extra_data": null, "title": null, "caption": "", "instance": { "id": 1159981, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014700/a014798/Westerlund_1_Multiwavelength_ Reel.mp4", "filename": "Westerlund_1_Multiwavelength_ Reel.mp4", "media_type": "Movie", "alt_text": "", "width": 1080, "height": 1920, "pixels": 2073600 } }, { "id": 503002, "type": "media", "extra_data": null, "title": null, "caption": "", "instance": { "id": 1159982, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014700/a014798/Westerlund_1_Multiwavelength_Reel_Still.jpg", "filename": "Westerlund_1_Multiwavelength_Reel_Still.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "", "width": 1080, "height": 1920, "pixels": 2073600 } } ], "extra_data": {} }, { "id": 377664, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14798/#media_group_377664", "widget": "Video player", "title": "M82 Multiwavelength Reel", "caption": "", "description": "This galaxy's center is sprouting new stars 10 times faster than our entire Milky Way.\r\n\r\nLocated 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major, M82 (also known as the Cigar galaxy) has intrigued astronomers since its discovery in 1774. Known as a starburst galaxy, M82’s frenzy of star formation will subside once it consumes or destroys the material needed to make more stars.\r\n\r\nMany telescopes have taken a look at M82 in different wavelengths of light.
