Chandra Observatory

The Chandra X-ray Observatory is a space telescope launched by NASA that studies the universe in X-ray wavelengths, which are beyond what our eyes can see. It helps scientists explore high-energy phenomena like black holes, neutron stars, and supernova remnants. Positioned outside Earth's atmosphere, Chandra provides clear, detailed images of energetic cosmic events, offering insights into the universe’s most extreme environments. Its data enhances our understanding of the birth, evolution, and death of stars, as well as the behavior of matter under intense gravity and magnetic fields.
