In the photo, what looks like a pale but fiery strip of orange curls around a blue and purple swirl of stars. The two forms meet in a bright flare in the middle, creating the impression, as NASA’sdescription puts it, that “this galaxy is jumping through a giant ring of stars.”
Astronomy Picture of the Day has been running since 1995, and each photo comes with an explanation of the image, provided by a professional astronomer. You’d never guess it, looking at the vibrant colours in the picture, but this image started out life as a series of black and white photos taken by NASA’s Hubble telescope.Kohl is part of an online community of astrophotographers who create stunning colour photographs of space.
Astrophotographers take these different greyscale images and fill them with colour corresponding to the filter they were taken with, so they end up with numerous red, blue, and green layers of the same deep space object. When they line the different images up on top of each other, that’s when the real picture of a galaxy, star or nebula starts to form.
A love of science is something that has informed almost his entire life. Kohl got his undergraduate degree in molecular genetics at Carleton University, and met his wife while he was at it, who was also studying science. He only started posting astrophotography pictures within the last few years, but he's not slowing down now.
