3-Panel Image of Abell 2125, Its Core & Galaxy C153
This 3-panel image shows different views of the galaxy cluster known as Abell 2125. The image on the left is Chandra's X-ray view of the cluster where red, green, and blue represent low, medium, and high-energy X-rays respectively. The middle panel shows Abell 2125's core where red is optical emission, and green and blue reveal the X-ray structure. Finally, the right panel shows a close-up of C153, a galaxy that's being ripped apart as it travels through the Abell 2125 cluster. Here, the red color represents visible light as seen by Hubble, and green and blue once again show the X-ray emission observed by Chandra.

Abell 2125's Core & Galaxy C153
This 2-panel version (left) shows the core of galaxy cluster Abell 2125, where red is optical emission, and green and blue reveal the X-ray structure. The inset shows a close-up of C153, a galaxy that's being ripped apart as it travels through the Abell 2125 cluster. Here, the red color represents visible light as seen by Hubble, and green and blue once again show the X-ray emission observed by Chandra. The image on the right is the individual image showing the close-up of Abell 2125's core.

Chandra X-ray Image of Abell 2125, Low Energy
This image shows only the low-energy X-rays (0.5-2.0 keV) as observed by Chandra. The green squares mark the locations of galaxies that belong to the cluster known as Abell 2125. The galaxies that are known to be bright in both radio and X-ray emission are also noted in blue and with crosses.
Scale: Image is 17 arcmin per side
