00:00:00.066 --> 00:00:03.966
NASA's Astrophoto Challenge
gives you the chance to make your very own

00:00:03.966 --> 00:00:09.333
space image using the same data
that astronomers use to study the cosmos.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.000
You can choose observations from
telescopes in space and on the Earth

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.600
to make your very own expression
of the universe.

00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:23.500
The winter 2025 challenge
lets us explore galaxies that are

00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:28.133
interacting with their neighbors, which
changes their shapes in interesting ways.

00:00:30.366 --> 00:00:34.300
You can make a picture of
the distant, ring-shaped Cartwheel Galaxy

00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:39.966
using data collected by NASA telescopes
that see across the spectrum of light

00:00:39.966 --> 00:00:42.200
from infrared to x-rays.

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.433
Or you can look to the nearby Andromeda Galaxy

00:00:47.833 --> 00:00:50.700
using visible light data collected just for you

00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:53.933
by the robotic MicroObservatory Telescope Network.

00:00:54.733 --> 00:00:59.033
You can even combine it with infrared data
from a NASA space telescope if you’d like.

00:01:01.533 --> 00:01:05.133
All you need is a web browser to select
your datasets, choose their colors,

00:01:05.133 --> 00:01:07.633
and combine them to create something
truly personal.

00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:12.066
Please make sure to share your images with us.

00:01:12.066 --> 00:01:14.366
Tell us about the colors you’ve picked.

00:01:14.366 --> 00:01:17.533
Were your choice
of scientific, artistic, or both?
