Took an older picture I'd already processed from HST and tried overlaying the x-rays. This supernova remnant has a reddish/cooler x-ray rim with a bluer/hotter interior.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Took an older picture I'd already processed from HST and tried overlaying the x-rays. This supernova remnant has a reddish/cooler x-ray rim with a bluer/hotter interior. Interestingly, the part brightest in visible light, which some call the firefox, is the dimmest part of the x-ray emitting nebula, but also apparently the hottest.

A Hubble-only view that I did a while back is here: https://www.flickr.com/photo.gne?short=MqXcQX

The upper left and lower right and a few other smaller places are missing data. I've put some fake data in there to make it less distracting, but it should be just noticeable if one looks closely.

North is up.
