1 Multiwavelength Astronomy: Your World in Different Light Image from NASA

2 Infrared Dog False color images of a dog photographed in the infrared Which parts are hottest? Coolest? Can you normally tell just by looking? Image from Cool Cosmos

3 X-Ray Challenge This X-Ray image was taken of a closed object. What ordinary object do you think this is? What are the bright areas made of?

4 max = 3,000,000 (Knm) Temperature (K) max: wavelength of maximum intensity (in nanometers) K: Kelvin nm: nanometers

5 Galaxy Features X-Ray: Hot Gas Radio: Cool Gas Visible: Most Other Stars Ultraviolet: Young, Hot Stars Infrared: Dust This is a galaxy called M33 viewed in 5 different wavelengths…
