Visual Description: G352.7-0.1

This multiwavelength composite image depicts the supernova remnant G352.7-0.1. It is a bright blue and purple structure, surrounded by stars, gas and dust colored in a golden yellow sprinkled with white.  It has an irregular shape, appearing somewhat like a cloud in the sky.  This supernova remnant has a very different shape in radio light compared to that in X-rays. Most of the radio emission is shaped like an ellipse, contrasting with the X-ray emission that fills in the center of the radio ellipse. This image contains X-rays from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory in blue and radio data from the National Science Foundation's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array in purple-pink. These data were combined with infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope in gold, and optical data from the Digitized Sky Survey in white.  Small golden puffs of infrared emission to the upper left and lower right are not directly related to the supernova remnant.
