Composite images created from Spitzer (SINGS) and Herschel (KINGFISH) observations.
Each individual image is a three-color composition showing :
- Blue : Spitzer/MIPS 24um observations tracing the warm dust heated by young stars in the star forming regions
- Green : Herschel/PACS 100um observations tracing the cool dust (peak of the dust emission in the infrared)
- Red : Herschel/SPIRE 250um observations tracing the coldest phases of the dust.
The image can be downloaded in pdf here (754 × 546, 18.4 Mb).
