NASA's James Webb Space Telescope work alongwith Chandra X-ray observatory by which boosted it's powers.
By merging data from Webb and Chandra, the striking images of far away galaxies and nebulae comes clear cut.
JWST utilizes four scientific instruments to look into our cosmic history, all of which measure a range of red and infrared light.
Chandra, was designed to detect X-ray effusion, which are higher energy forms of light than JWST’s instruments can sense.
According to Chandra observatory, X-rays are emitted from very hot parts of the universe, “such as exploded stars, clusters of galaxies.
Chandra have four mirrors and two detectors, which focus and measure X-ray emissions that may be unseen by the Webb.
These x-ray emissions are of Cartwheel galaxy captured by Chandra X-ray observatory.
By combining Webb telescope image and Chandra X-ray image, final output is above image, which is sharp and clear.
