Make Your Own Image of the Phantom Galaxy (M74) with NASA’s Astrophoto Challenge!
Join NASA's Universe of Learning for an exciting opportunity to use real astronomical data and tools to create your own images of the Phantom Galaxy, also known as M74. Use your images to explore the mysterious structures within this galaxy, or just create an image that you think is beautiful. You can capture your own real-time telescope image using the MicroObservatory robotic telescope network. You can also work with an archival set of data files taken with multi-wavelength NASA, ESA, and CSA space telescope mission (Webb, Hubble, Chandra, Spitzer, and XMM-Newton).
The NASA’s Astrophoto Challenge provides learners of all familiarity levels authentic experiences using real astrophysics data, including those from NASA space-based missions. Participants engage in the scientific practices of a scientist through accessible data tools and experiences while they create and share their composite images.
