Answer the three questions in the space below. When looking at the optical image you see a big blob of over powered light with a faint glow around it. In the long wavelength it"s a lot easier to see the spiral stars and the bright star in the galaxy. The long wave length makes it more clear and focused on the galaxy. In the short wavelength it is easier to see the stars outside the spiral arms. The short wavelength also makes the spiral galaxy easier to see.
