A composite image of the galaxy cluster MS 0735, located in the Camelopardalis constellation, has been colored so it can be seen with the naked eye (expanded view). The red in the image shows high energy particles that have been ejected from a "supermassive" black hole, while the blue shows X-rays emitted by a gas with a temperature of nearly 50 million degrees.
