| About The Data | |
| Data Description | This image was created from HST data from the following proposal : B. McNamara (Ohio University), M. Wise (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), and P. Nulsen (Harvard-Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory). |
| Instrument | HST>ACS/WFC, CXO>ACIS, and VLA>"A" Configuration |

| About The Image | |
| Color Info | This image is a composite of many separate exposures made by several different instruments from the three missions listed above. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue (CXO): X-ray Yellow-green (HST): visible Red (VLA): radio |

| About The Object | |
|---|---|
| Object Name | A name or catalog number that astronomers use to identify an astronomical object. |
| Object Description | The type of astronomical object. |
| R.A. Position | Right ascension – analogous to longitude – is one component of an object's position. |
| Dec. Position | Declination – analogous to latitude – is one component of an object's position. |
| Constellation | One of 88 recognized regions of the celestial sphere in which the object appears. |
| Distance | The physical distance from Earth to the astronomical object. Distances within our solar system are usually measured in Astronomical Units (AU). Distances between stars are usually measured in light-years. Interstellar distances can also be measured in parsecs. |
| Dimensions | The physical size of the object or the apparent angle it subtends on the sky. |
