Black Hole

M83, a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, is turned face-on toward Earth. This provides an unfettered view of the entire galaxy that is often impossible with different orientations. In the X-ray image (red, green and blue), you can see how NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected the explosions of stars, or supernovas, and their aftermath across M83.
