X-ray data from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory have revealed that NGC 2207 and IC 2163, currently in the process of colliding with one another, have produced one of the most bountiful collections of super bright X-ray lights called "ultraluminous X-ray sources" (ULXs). The true nature of ULXs is still debated, but they are likely a peculiar type of X-ray binary. In this composite image, X-ray data from Chandra are pink, and optical light data from Hubble are red, green, and blue (appearing as blue, white, orange and brown).
