*Description*:> A Zoom into the C153 spiral galaxy found in the galaxy cluster Abell 2125. The initial view moves from the NOAO telescope mosaic into the Hubble Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 image of C153. This Hubble image then dissolves into a colorful composite detail of X-ray, radio, UV and optical images.
