Digital Meld

Wow, it has been over a month since we’ve brought you one of our famously popular HD 1080p Wallpapers of the Day, that’s just way to long so we’re going to double up today… tomorrow’s Thanksgiving after all! Below is a shot of the Crab Nebula as seen from the tag team duo of the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope. 

This new picture of the Crab Nebula combines data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Spitzer Space Telescope . . . Infrared light caught by Spitzer and visible light seen by Hubble paint the nebula’s expanding debris cloud in shades of purple and red. Meanwhile, Chandra’s x-ray vision is helping astronomers understand the high-energy particles (seen in blue) coming from the dead star’s core, known as a white dwarf.

We’re bringing you this baby in both 1920×1200 and 1920×1080 resolutions today, we hope you enjoy. Be sure to check out the rest of our HD 1080p Wallpapers of the Day via our Wallpaper Category and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
