This is a video tutorial of the procedure available at http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/openFITS/casa.html, which describes how to create colorized images from raw x-ray telescope data. Since humans cannot "see" x-rays, scientists add color to the images to help us understand what is happening when we use x-ray telescopes to observe objects in space like galaxies and supernovas.
To view full directions for this science project, see the "X-Ray Vision: Peering Into the Stars with X-ray…
