Most of these 'rays' images have been enhanced beyond what would normally seem reasonable, done deliberately to expose very dim, some extraordinarily dim, elements in the images.
LASERS (definition)
Coherent light rays in a beam that stay tight together long distances, used for fibre optics in Internet piping, holograms, suspected by many (tho by no means all) astronomers to be jetting forth from polar focals in energetic stars, nebula central energy fields, black holes, even galaxies. Because none are beamed straight at us when photographed, showing an example of an actual laser ray is not possible in GIC.
BLAZER (definition)
Since laser rays by nature might be extremely thin, little or none of the ray would be visible unless beamed right at us in a stupendous light blast therefore what is seen is via transversal radiation from matter excited by a ray passing through it, the seeming laser light reaching us is transveral in nature, radiating as second level excitement sideways from the vector of the passing ray. Blazers by nature can therefore be intermittant, that is, there, then vanished, then there again, as the laser ray passes through intermittant clumps of matter, exciting a thin path of interspace haze and matter between the clumps.
TRACER (definition)
Tracers fire from hems and edges, for instance from hems of the Catseye nebula, and can explode like popcorn kernals. Collapsing magnetic bubbles along a hem may be the source of a tracer's firepower.
BEAMS (definition)
Beams are generic and can mean anything that is thin and crosses a gap in space in a straight line, or beams forth from an object in a perfectly straight line out on its own into space, basically, a beam is any coherent straight line artifact, such as a tracer or blazer, or, even, shafts, such as refracted shafts of sunlight on Earth, and shafts refracted through nebula or galactic cloud filters, but, also, a thick short projection such as two seen from the left side of the Hourglass nebula.
LET'S BEGIN WITH A GOOD LOOK AT A RAY, NEXT
The 'Telegraph' rays (dot dash dot) in a star image named He2-90, seen by Hubble, thought by astronomers to be jets from a two star action. GIC thinks perhaps blazers, in that the lineal trajectories are far too straight and single minded to be the usual path of jets which tend to meander and coil like umbilical cords. These 'Telegraph' rays are probably 'blazers' in passing through hot and cold knobs of matter, perhaps by an invisible higher frequency laser exciting matter into blazers through which the invisible rays pass.
Check it out with a compass, the blobs are all equidistant (at equal radii) from the star center, each blob along any radial, matched by blobs at the same distance on other radials. There is a slight displacement between blob equidistances exactly in accord with planet orbital eccentricities, therefore I am forced to conclude the blobs are by an invisible high energy ray firing through dust filled planet orbits in eccentricic rings around the star(s), the planetary orbits too faint to be discerned in the limits set for this particular photo shoot, nonetheless the dust filled orbital rings are revealed by the rays firing through them exciting dust lane matter into blazers, the orbits appearing as blobs out along the axis of the planetary's ecliptic axis.
Re: eccentricities - planetary solar artists tend to show solar orbits with huge eccentricities but except for Mercury and Pluto planetary eccentricities on a percent scale are so slight as to be unnoticable, it fooled Copernicus who thought planet orbits were perfect circles. The fact that orbital eccentricities in the above image, seen by using a compass, are slight at best, is entirely in accord with the eccentricities to be expected of planets around an energetic star.
I suggest orbital planes rather than jets propelling clumps of matter, because of the unique uniformity in the blobs all being coherently consistly at equal lengths per radii from the center of the star(s), and this, as far as I can tell, can only be from orbital dust lanes concentrated as if Rings of Saturn, for instance, the lower left and lower right radials are missing (not passing through) the ecliptic plane of this solar system's orbits and so show no blobs, just diffuse amorphous dust surrounding the star lit up through which the invisible needle thin rays are passing.
RED JET IN QUASAR 3C175
Long red particle accelarator engine jet in Quasar 3c175-01.gif from APOD under search 'quasar'.
Judging by the flow patterns seen in 3d (merge the two images together to see stereo), there has been a bifurcating hot pop, with two results moving away from each other but actually moving toward our cameras on divergent paths gradually spreading apart.
Look to the smoke streamers trailing behind both gobs to see that a motion is taking place for both, this way toward us. Also, both gobs have predominant foreward thrusts facing our way, implying that the initiating explosion was strongly biased in a direction toward us.
The initiating explosion was not at all a lineal polar opposite spread left to right along a straight line axis. A line of reasoning pointing to the foreward thrusting of all movements, rules out a straight line symmetry vector east to west.
There may have been an original straight line action lasting hardly any time as the kernals both began to hurtle this way as they simultaneously began to spread apart, increasing inexorably movements away from any original straight line polarity vector through the center of the hot pop.

EGG NEBULA
Having established a reasonable conjecture platform for extracelestial solar system orbits, I turn your heads with brains enclosed to the Egg nebula for confirmation.
Needle thin, invisible, high frequency rays, are a suggested cause of blazers in the Egg nebula (next) lighting up arced hits as blazers, caused by the rays firing through an intense concentration of not one but two sets of planetary orbital systems, the two oribital solar systems interleaved in a duo ecliptic plane each holding a large body of planets oribiting along two separate horizon plane axis around the nebula's nucleus.
And so we introduce the following. On a much larger scale, (nebula, not merely a star) the boldly announcing Egg nebula has twin rays that also criss-cross in a railway track crossing formula, the Egg rays studied at length here 1 and here 2 and briefly examined here 3.
THE RED SLIDER RAY IN NGC 3603
The Red Slider ray in Ngc 3603. This is probably a blazer, rather than a laser ray, in that as a blazer it is irregular and broader, meaning it is probably (almost certainly) the result of a much more intense thin beam, unseen, in higher frequency, passing through sundry matter causing the sundry matter to glow in excitement revealing an invisible ray's path. (Ahem, this is what I like to think - of course I could be wrong).
Other Ngc 3603 links are here 1 and here 2
THE RED RIDER RAY IN ORION
Red Ryder Ray in Orion - this is probably also a blazer, far longer and thinner than the short stubby red slider ray above, the Red Ryder ray crosses a conciderable expanse as if a satellite trail but, it begins exactly at a star at the ray's left end, and intermittantly disappears passing though clumps of Orion sundry matter.
The Red Ryder ray is extensively studied in its own page.
The image containing the Red Ryder ray has been extensively explored for other interesting features at this GIC page.
THE DRY GULCH RAY IN ORION
The Dry Gulch ray in Orion. The Dry Gulch ray is hard to fathom since it looks so much like a scratch in a negative, except, this is a picture by Hubble which makes it digital. The only possibility springing to mind is that a hard copy image was printed from the digital original and a scratch got into the process.
Otherwise, if not a scratch, what is it. Closeup reveals a white streak, starting needle point thin, issuing colored out of dense haze, crossing a trench (the dry gulch) to disappear again needle thin and colored into haze.
if a ray, it may be an actual laser ray, firing out into the open from some hidden source, question is, which end of the ray has the source.
Notwhithstanding the needle sharp ray, mystery enough, notice the number of stars in the lower portion of the picture which have dark cavities around them, it appears (in 3d overlay) as if all of these stars are poking out of holes into the open and I can only feel it is a question of peculiar particular Hubble optics in the way different frequencies were photographed to make the combined image in color, or, else, the Hubble telescope drifted slightly between shoots and the dark holes around the stars are a displacement, since most of the dark cavities are biased in hard leaning angles.
HUNDREDS OF STARS WITH SOLAR DISKS
I take all of that last paragraph above completely back. A second closer look at the stars above in 3D overlay reveals that they are above their dark openings, or projecting from the openings in miniature oblongs, willy nilly, that is, there is no angle dominant, all angles are present, so, apparently, what we are looking at, is these stars, mainly hot blues, have disks. There are other object very irregular but also hot nuclear masses and these must then be stars that are flaring hard at it, or oscillating, or not yet spherically formed, for instance stars of oblong shape poking out of a disk have been explored by astronomers who keep looking for the beginnings of things even recent.
STREAKS THAT DON'T COUNT
Streaks such as this in a J. Ware image of Orion, are picture structuring artifacts, not rays. What is interesting about this image, (besides the fact practically nothing can be found out about it since the only link I know holding it has a link that is a dud to the image's source), is that it expands under high enhancement showing a huge Orion with tongs flanging into deepspace in rivers of entropy energy, telling us that what we see of Orion is only a bulging skin on a surface, that the rest of Orion is mighty and spreads out who knows how far or how hugely behind dim matter (greys, and murky deep red in these enhancements) beyond what we see.
FLAME NEBULA NGC 2024 - FLAMING WINGS AND A STAR WITH PLANETS
The Flame nebula can be seen in enhanced full here
Another image, with telltale streaks of no account, is this image from the Flame nebula Ngc 2024 from which is extracted a star image which seems to have twin twangs spreading out below in a masonic 'V', a phenomena which seems apart from the telescope light spikes. This star image, along with other stars galore, are profiled at this GIC page.
A very intriguing situation has arisen in this Ngc 2024 star situation. Use your compass and check it out. On the upper three radians (light spikes) are three white dots each equidistant from the center of the star, and in the fourth position straight down is a small blue oval at exactly the radius of the upper three white dots. This verrrry much suggests a planetary orbital signature revealed by the telescope's light spikes actually amplifying (by lensing effects) the data behind the light spikes. The fact that position four is uniquely so different yet so precisely in the proper place, verrrry much suggests we are looking at an extracelestial orbital solar system.
It gets better. In Image X above, along the horizonal light spikes, a strong white dot is seen on the right, matched by a faint dot equidistant out on the left side light spike. This, I have to assume, is a second planetary orbit whose extremely dim existence has been amplified by refraction through the light spikes.
ASTEROID BELTS INSTEAD OF PLANETS
Is it possible that light itself can amplify photon radiations, or is it that the struts causing the spikes in the telescope has bent the light, wrapping the radiations around the struts like light bending in water, amplifying the bends into white dots where a little extra light is present beyond background, for instance planetary orbits in a solar system with the orbits strewn with dust somewhat like Earth's asteroid belt. We may take a step backward and say there may not be planets in these exposed orbits at Ngc 2024, what instead are exposed are at least two asteroid belts.
We know from hard core physics researched over the years, that sound can wrap around objects. Assuming that optic principles and sonic principles are identical (separate from the special relativity principles which influence electromagnetism), we can almost safely say that light can also wrap around objects, well, we know this anyway, so, the question is, are the dots in the light spikes of the star at Ngc 2024 due to light wrapping around objects (struts) or is the light created by the spikes themselves per se doing the amplification. It is time to shake awake Newton and get him set to work doing more of his unique kind of equations. These seem a-priori questions for Mr. and Mrs. Math and all the Math kids in the Math family who like Newton tough questions without getting migrain headaches.
TRACERS
Tracers are a different class of rays. These are where a kernal has fired out leaving a trail, then exploded like popcorn. Tracers are suspected (by GIC) to be common in nova and supernova nebulas, though only one example clear cut enough to be definative, is seen, in the Catseye nebula.
Another tracer example may, or may not, be visible firing from the outer hem of Ngc 3918. In this case extreme high enhancement blanking out details, reveals thin lines which seem to extend short distances from the rim, almost subliminal, the thin lines are visible enough to be used in illustration but are not dominant enough to be definative.
Rays from the center of the Butterfly nebula may be telescope refactory light spikes however there is enough in eerie about these rays, expecially close up looking right into the inner core, to be used in GIC as suggested possible rays.
There is a central disk perhaps even a spherical dust area to go with it, fingers reach out around the inner irregular sphere in a somewhat regular fashion that is the inner region and disk in pinkish blue is not particularly lopsided. Through this, rays pass.
The rays are peculiar. First, they continue needle thin for long distances and do not end in quick points like compass needles, (see below), secondly, at the center where telescope overplus produces light spikes usually there is a cardinal 4 points of a compass geometric at the center of the superhot where telescope light spikes initiate, these are not seen in the Butterfly nebula (see above image).
Instead, the rays with sustained widths pass brightly through inner haze (pink) then abruptly leave the inner disks area to continue long distances as needle thin. As said, these rays are peculiar. If mere telescope light spikes they are peculiar light spikes anyway.
In fact, only the South/west (lower left) ray is visible as it passes though the the shell of the nebula and this is the only ray which is vectoring toward us toward the camera. Logic makes sense here, it is exactly what you would expect if this is a ray and not a light spike.
Note that the North/west South/east (upper left, lower right) rays start out pink, then vanish, then reappear outside the shell of the nebula. This should not happen if the blue rays were artificial the rays would dominate continuing right out from center without a hiccup.
The South/west North/east rays pass visibly through the shell, consistent with being forward projectors whereas the other rays which disappear then reoccur are aimed backward as if passing through the rear side of the inner nebular masking their existence.
Rays are the pro side of the arguement.
The con side is meritous as well. To begin with, the angle degrees of the light flash in the nebula immediately above are identical to star flash angle degrees in the dark yellow star to the left, and this is suspiciously connish.
As seen in Captain Spikey at left, a disk can also be added to an image where a disk is not actually there, which makes correctly interpreting image spikes, and disks, difficult if real rays are suspected in an object.
A cardinal light thrust can be offsided, even multi ringed, creating illusion of an elliptical disk or off centered disk if someone is looking at a disk not recognizing Captain Spiky having a hangover.
PS, the faint red rays in the Rigel image, are polar planar, diving into 3d space. But, are we looking at stars firing laser rays or is the fact of the red rays being polar planar merely a fact of chromatic abberation through the lens where the red rays were created, if chromatic abberation is the answer.
Star named Aurigae
This ends the pros and cons about the Butterfly nebula's rays.
Next, an Eso image of the Butterfly nebula, very blurry, shows two interesting features. When highly enhanced in red, a knob appears jutting to the right from center. When highly enhanced in green, what appears to be a disk extending out into space from around the center becomes discernable, but this is no big deal since the Eso image concerns the inner central details not visible in the Hubble images above, in this case the Eso green is only a glimpse of the central disk seen in pinkish full in the Hubble images above.
And back to the HST image, trying to see what can be gleaned out of the center area and two things result, first, a long series of different color tones and strengths in enhancement give a clearer picture of what is happening at the center, and secondly two disks, (or spherical bubble shells) one very small and dense right around the intense bright central radiator.
The nebula's girth noticably swells in blue, that is, when the image is enhanced with strong blue input, increasing blue frequencies captured on digitware.
Two rays spike out from the center of the Spider nebula, one of the rays issuing from further back and does not touch the center, meaning they are coming out into the open from an angle further back behind the nucleus.
The Spider nebula is examined briefly in another context regarding nebula symmetries.
From this complex, either a beam such as a blazer, or a diffused telescope light spike, in a critter called a T Tauri Star Forming System.
This T Tauri image above, is also displayed in a completely different context in GIC (proto planet forming stars), here.
Rays in a galaxy with a fiercly active black hole. In an Ngc 4151 image there are two colors of rays, one (red) easily seen, the other (blue) not seen until the image is very highly enhanced. Only one beam is seen for the (blue) colored ray, suggesting it is not a criss cross telescope lens artifact.

If the blue ray is a telescope artifact, a reason could be two photos, one capturing red light spikes, a second with a strong artificial blue light spike in the blue image. A third color (probably green) did not seem to have a light spike in the photo. When the photos were combined for finished image, the red and blue rays appeared in the one picture.
Otherwise, a blue ray is beaming from the heart of galaxy Ngc 4151.

RADIO JETS AT NGC 5532
Ngc 5532 an elliptical galaxy in a small far away galaxy cluster, has a subtantial radio jet. The jet has similarities to a radio jet observed in distorted elliptical galaxy Centaurus A. Details are here.
Yes say hello is the Eta Carinae nebula ever busy tonight with ray stuff.
Ghost shells appear around the right the ghost outlines matching the main cradle. Apparently Hubble took two photos displaced by time but these ghost shells instead may include residuals of earlier blowups.
This, if you are a researcher who has looked into the subject more than once, is the Eta Carinae nebula, unlike any view you have ever seen of it.
An earlier Hubble image of Eta Carinae shows a spray of red rays at different angles and inclinations firing from the nuclear center. These (those that are actual beams) are probably blazers. The red image also shows traces of a ladder rill formation (called the Eiffle Tower in GIC) which has interesting details.
An Eso study of the Eta nebula presents a showcase of rays. Tracers fire from the hems. A jet shoots a short distance from the top. And thin blue rays which are either blazers or lasers fire in opposite directions from Eta's dumbbell nucleus.
At the dumbbell, Eso shows rays, which appear only in blue, and match those seen by Hubble. Thin rays cross east through west. Broad beams extend from the upper end, which also match formations seen in Hubble shown two images down.
A Hubble time-displacement image has rays shooting right out of the gazooo. In an interesting notice, the upper and right rays are matched by the dim broad vectors in the Eso image, slightly rotated, above.
Wide hatband thinkers have taken the Hubble bold rays to be artificial, on the other hand how come Eso has identical wide bands, unless peculiarites in telescope lenses in principle can clone their peculiarities one telescope to the next.
MAGNIFICENT RECURRANCE - ATOMIC/COSMIC - AND ITS REAL
Ejecta squirting out the side, turns into the outline of a quartz crystal when the image is rotated.
Eta Carinae is studied at length in its own GIC page.
The quartz crystal in spectacular closup changes everything you thought you knew about this phenomenon.
BEFORE, AND AFTER, EFFECTS IN THE HOURGLASS NEBULA
Residuals of earlier blows are visibly under extreme conditions of image enhancement, at large around the main hourglass extending its deep space size significantly, the residuals are too dim (vague) to be brought forth into bright luminance and so what the earlier blowup may have looked like is not instantly witnessed, but, at least, we know residuals of at least one earlier nebulosity eruption are out there at the Hourglass.
Those are two straight line slashes spiking out the left side of the nebula, the upper spike is in the foreground, the lower spike is a long way back, from behind, in the rear. What they are or represent is indeterminant in the resolution scales of this image, but, it is suggested, definately merit further study by a better look with a telescope focused to look straight at them, in different frequencies up and down the spectrum.
X-RAY, AND RADIO, GALAXY CENTER IMAGES - X-RAY BY CHANDRA
From Chandra latest images site.
An enhanced image, and another enhancement with higher saturation, show that the Milky Way center is an incredible place in radio frequencies with thin, and extremely thin, filaments and lashes lacing around in coils in strong semi-parallel streaks of who knows what cause and formation, the coils at right angles to a long diagonal irregular inner shaft.
Sriking parallel bands of filamentation in radio wavelengths spur curiosity in our galaxy center, bright enhanced views from this original, used to make a composite showing X-rays by Chandra.
You had better read the image caption and description for this above scene at the Chandra site.
Not to be confused, another Chandra image features the Arches Star Cluster, local, nearby, small, one of the most compact clusters of new stars in our galaxy, it has radio bands also, curving in parallel streaks around a thinner inner long shaft.
You had better read the image caption and description for this above Archers scene at the Chandra site, use your browser 'find' to locate 'archer'.
If interested, you had also better read this APOD page featuring the Archer cluster, in particular probe the links in between the links in this page.
For instance links in between the links turned up this image of the galaxy center, an extract displayed next in an enhanced version for use in 3D display in GIC.
BRIEF EDITORIAL - IGNORE IF NOT INTERESTED
I would go blind if I tried to label every tiny thing I saw in every image I looked at. Programmers who used to produce large manual small program sharewares for bulletin boards sometimes got to itemizing every detail in an index which could grow to 700 or more titled subjects with page number references, then changing one page had to redo the whole of the index, (which could go to several thousand sublets if paragraph numbers were also cited) and often ended up spending most of their time entirely just redoing their index week after week after week. Other programers were a lot wiser, they did not itemize every single instance in a master list referenced each by the exact page number etc. Saved time. Saved readers time too, imagine, learning an index and a week later downloading a new updated version and having to learn the index all over again. Hmmmm.
Fat gobs are fat gobs, floating around in clumps of radio concentration. Swirls are swirls, and fronds are fronds. Would you, in utmost seriousness, label every single thing you spotted in a frog pond when sticking you head under water and rolling your open eyes around.
For knowledge only the whole formation needs be recorded scanned into mind's eye by a quick study. Knowledge specialization is a different technique, a square box around one item if special notice, a square box around another item in the same image in a different name would easily pass information around amongst notices of specialists, for that matter, a collage of small boxes along with a single undoctered master image could hardly do better. To detail every item in a rolls royce including clumps of road mud might not serve well the brain that knows only too well that creating a brain that stalls in complete lineal thinking, does not a wise human make.
GALAXY PICTOR A
Caption at Chandra latest images site, for a picture showing a stupendously powerful X-ray beam leaving galaxy Pictor A, is as follows.
"X-ray Jet Points Toward Cosmic Energy Booster Radio Galaxy Pictor A."
An incredible jet like this beaming forth from a galaxy center raises an ungoldly roar of questions from a hord of killer bee and hornet hytbrids, these are bees that just won't quit no matter how pumped dry their stingers.
To begin with, the distance between the galaxy and hot blob out there at ray end is eight times the diameter of the Milky Way. You would think that the mother galaxy was rotating while firing X-ray beams at the child, in which case the child would wander away as target as mother turned, even so, the turns of mother would cause a radar sweep, not a tight together laser-like beam.
The kornets (killer bees and hornets crossbreed) are getting angry. To be out there at length 8 times the crosswidth of the Milky Way whose size is 100,000 light years across, means a coherent firing factory at least 800 million years old. Can galactic factories remain coherent that long?
Thirdly, the hot blob is described as nothing but a hot blob in any radio survey description, in radio it is somewhat smaller than the Pictor A galaxy however in X-rays the hot blob is not much smaller than the X-ray image of Pictor A. It almost seems the hot blob is another galaxy radiating strongly in X-rays dimly in radio and perhaps not seen in visible light making it a dark galaxy, if it is out there.
But that is not the real cause for lightning storms at the kornets nest. Try and find a picture of galaxy Pictor A.
It's called 'the days of our lives' and that's what they are, in
trying to pick and choose a working path through the labyrinthic
Chandra images sites, looking for a bigger picture of Pictor A. I
know it exists, because I have seen it, in a science news page that
wanted me to sign up immediately for daily weekly hourly and by
the minute news updates, plus use my credit card to enter its sales
priviledges,it has a large area square picture of the Chandra Pictor A
image in very small size ergo low resolution so the only thing to do
was to enter the Chandra site, penetrate its labyrinthics, try its
searches, but, no large image of Pictor A, some of the search links had
pages of explanations as to how to search but not one single search bar
for the pages that detailed descriptions of what a search means. In the meantime the same basic Chandra pages came up over and over all with different link titles all seeming supposed different contents all actually the same pages with the same names personalities layout and greatness of the sitegreats itself, but no big picture of Pictor A. No optical image either.
In fact nothing could be found searching the Internet by LOOK.COM and GOOGLE, nothing, elaborate text info thoroughly peppered with graphic insert math terms turned up from the UK with brain heavy interpretations of the terms, but no picture of Pictor A. A Mead's telescope and camera site has a telescope named Pictor A, or was it a procedure given that name by Mead, but no picture of Pictor A. Dss has
CHANDRA DEPICTION X-RAY IMAGES
"Chandra image of XTE J1118+480 black hole binary system"
If I have intrepreted information provided at Chandra image sources, correctly, several different X-ray frequecies were tested for content and the results artificially composited by hand placed out there in spray arrays branching out from the central bright strand, which is the X-ray rays per se, the other rays of diminishing length show where along the main strand the different x-ray frequencies dominate.
A pulsar in the Vela nebula seems to have a central shaft of strong 'ray' intent. The cyclonnic swirls around the central pulsar are similar in kind to the magnetic spinning top which surrounds the Crab nebula's pulsar.
Other Chandra X-ray images are at this GIC page.
AN ACTIVE GALAXY'S Y-RAY 'RAYS
Nonetheless, it being the only optical image of Ngc 3783 I could find, it is the one you get, in your face, from me.
RAYS RILL THE RIM OF PROCYON
Rays rill the rim of Procyon, one of the larger nearest nearby stars. This is a Dss image which shows Procyon large hot and closeup, but, rays in evenly matched rills clearly extend beyond the rim of the telescope bogey.

SUPERJET AT QUASAR PKS1127-145
Chandra X-ray of quasar jet
Chandra and Hubble overlay images
A super jet over 1 million light years long, fires out of Quasar PKS1127-145, which itself is over 10 billion light years away (back in time according to red shift theories).
GIC is taking the position that the beam is not by a powerful jet engine spewing out a long rocket trail, rather, the smoking Quasar is travelling through space leaving a contrail behind. Put the point of a rocket against the Moon and lets it's rocket blast continue firing out into space pushing a longer and longer trail - this is the current 'jet' theory.
GIC instead says put the rocket out in space and double its speed so the trail - not pushing backwards in standard counterthrust - stays in space in the same place, as its length behind the moving rocket increases as a direct signature of distance travelled.
In both these views - stationary rocket, and stationary trail - the engine is conjectured to be a super massive black hole at the center of the Quasar in its early day stages (10 billion years ago).
Hubble optical, and Chandra X-ray, have both captured the same object in the exact same position in space, the Chandra view with the powerful long jet depicted in bright red false colors without surrounding galaxies which are too dim in X-ray frequencies to register.
The above are Chandra originals and GIC enhancements. The Chandra jet view does not enhance, except to increase the presence of surrounding dots. The Hubble view enhances to show some more of the deep space backdrop and the size of the galaxies in the picture.
A Chandra composite picture shows the red jet in scale to the surrounding galaxies in keeping with the fact that the red jet actually passes through a galaxy giving science astronomers an opportunity to measure elements within the intervening galaxy by using the quasar light passing through as base scale. The odd collection of small galaxies surrounding, intending to depict gravitational lensing, happen to be one of the Stephans Quintet galaxies used it is supposed as illustrative only in that all of the Stephans clones are identical - cloned shapes are not expected in gravitational lensing.
