APOD4



This active galaxy NGC 1275 is the center of the larger galaxy, Perseus Cluster of Galaxies. With it's emission of X-Ray and radio waves, it is very relevant to the matter we are currently learning about in chapter 2. It's visible wavelengths shine a mix of colors between purple, blue, indigo, violet, red, and pink that are all emitted around a ball of light at its center. I chose this picture because of its relevance to our class learning about light spectrums and their emissions and it's eye-appealing swirl of mystical colors.
