Is that the USS Enterprise blur, since it makes the jump to the speed of deformation?


Well, no. But a new photo from the Abell 1033 galaxy cluster certainly calls the famous "Star Trek"Spaceship to the mind.


The image, which was launched on Thursday (November 15), is a composite that combines observations in optical light as well as in X-ray and radio wavelengths, the last two of which are represented by the colors purple and blue, respectively.

The optical data was compiled by Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the X-ray by NASA. Chandra X-ray observatory and the Low Frequency Settlement network radio in the Netherlands.


Abell 1033 is about 1.6 billion light years from Earth. The object is actually two clusters of galaxies that come together in a dramatic and enormously energetic explosion that generates shock waves and other forms of turbulence in this patch of space-time.

"In Abell 1033, the collision has interacted with another cosmic energy process: the production of high-velocity jets of spiral-shaped particles in a supermassive black hole, in this case one located in a galaxy in one of the groups", mission of Chandra. team members wrote on Thursday in a description of the image.


"These jets are revealed by radio emission to the left and right sides of the image," they added. "The radio emission is produced by spiral electrons around the lines of the magnetic field, a process called synchrotron emission."


The radio broadcast observed at Abell 1033 covers a whopping 500,000 light years, said Chandra team members. The electrons responsible for this emission have probably been re-energized, a result that researchers announced and explained in a study in October 2017. You can read it for free online at arXiv.org.


The newly launched image is an example of pareidolia, which describes the tendency of the human brain to see familiar forms in more or less random data. Other examples include the famous "Face on Mars" and the various creatures that some people see on the rocks of the red planet photographed over the years by NASA's Curiosity rover.
