I'm an instructor teaching astronomy and physics at the University of South 返字心頭 in the Department of Physics.
The composite image is of the galaxy NGC 3077 combining 250亮m (red), 8.0亮m (green), and 4.5亮m (blue) images from the Herschel Space Observatory and the Spitzer Space Telescope. The 250亮m and 8.0亮m images show cool dust and warm polycyclic hydrocarbon emission displaced from the center of the galaxy by internal star formation and its interaction with nearby galaxies M81 and M82.
