Answer:

Dust that blocks visible light is transparent to X-rays.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bright center of the galaxy can be seen in both images, but the dark ring of dust on the left is absent in the X-ray image on the right. This means that dust that blocks visible light is transparent to X-rays.

Some, but not all, of the bright X-ray sources on the right are also visible on the left. This indicates that bright X-ray sources may be bright visible sources, or they may be very dark according to visible light.
