k Spiral galaxy IC 342, NuSTAR Xray image Spiral galaxy IC 342, NuSTAR Xray image. This spiral galaxy, also known as Caldwell 5, is 7 million light years distant in the constellation of Camelopardalis. The highenergy Xray data, from NASAs Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array NuSTAR has been coloured pink and superimposed on a visiblelight view. NuSTAR allows much higher resolution imaging. The two pink spots are black holes causing surrounding material to emit highenergy Xrays. The black holes appear much brighter than typical stellarmass black holes. Visiblelight data from the Digitized Sky Survey. The outer parts of the galaxy are not visible. Image published in 2013. Stock Photo - Afloimages
