(NASA. LARGE FORMAT. DEEP SPACE) NASA's X-ray Space Telescope discovers massive black holes common in the early universe: A composite image combines the deepest X-ray image ever taken with Hubble's optical and infrared data.
This composite image combines the deepest X-ray image ever taken with Hubble's optical and infrared data. Astronomers obtained the so-called Deep Field South by pointing the X-ray telescope at the same patch of sky for over six weeks. The X-ray telescope sources in this small section of the CDFS are shown in blue. Two "stacked" images, representing a technique used to find the most distant galaxies in X-ray light, are on the right. The results of this data set indicate, among other things, that black holes are actively developing between 800 million and 950 million years after the Big Bang.Vintage chromogenic print. Numbering on front. Legend on back label. 40.6 x 40.6cm with margins.
