Space scientists have shared four seasonally-themed cosmic wonders.

NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have chosen four new space images for a special holiday card.

The pictures include a pair of colliding galaxies resembling a snowman, a nebula Christmas tree, a snowy winter vista and even a partridge in a pear tree.

Chandra said: “X-rays from Chandra provide a glimpse into the high-energy activity and phenomena in these objects.

“Each of the quartet of objects evokes the winter season or one of its celebratory days either in its name or shape.”
