This is a NASA space photograph, showing the spiral Pinwheel Galaxy, also known as M101. This galaxy is located about 21 million light years from Earth, in Ursa Major (the Big Dipper). This composite image has pink, white, blue and yellow colours, and combines visible light, infrared light, ultraviolet light and x-ray data. Four of NASA's telescopes were involved: the Hubble Space Telescope, Spitzer Space telescope, Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX).
