This cellular-looking object is Tycho's Supernova Remnant. As a huge ball of exploding plasma, it was Irving Langmuir who coined the name plasma because of its similarity to blood plasma, and Hannes Alfvén who noted its cellular nature. The filamentary blue outer shell of X-ray emitting high-speed electrons is also a characteristic of plasmas. This is a false-colour image since x-rays are invisible to the human eye.
What looks like a microscopic biological cell, is in fact a huge Supernova Remnant. But it's no coincidence; as a huge ball of exploding plasma, it was Irving Langmuir who coined the name plasma because of its similarity to blood plasma, and Hannes Alfvén who noted its cellular nature.
The image can be found on the page about plasma, was sourced from Nasa, and is credited to Credit: NASA/CXC/Rutgers/J.Warren & J.Hughes et al.
This is a false-colour x-ray image in which the energy levels (in keV) of the x-rays have been assigned a colours as follows: Red 0.95-1.26 keV, Green 1.63-2.26 keV, Blue 4.1-6.1 keV. All x-rays images must use processed colours since x-rays (as are radio waves, infra-red) are invisible to the human eye. But they are not invisible to suitable equipment, such as x-ray telescopes. --Iantresman21:23, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
Support - I will marginally support with the caveat that the KeV-color correlation data is added to the image description page.--Deglr632818:23, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Comment - Love the picture, but need to add something about the "false colors" to the caption, in addition to the full information given on the image page. CapeCodEph21:49, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Support - This is a spectacular view of unleashed forces in the universe. Let's not get smug by saying 'I've seen better'. JoJan19:40, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
