Browsing: Chandra X-ray Observatory
The Chandra X-ray Observatory is NASA’s flagship space telescope for observing the universe in high-energy X-ray light, offering unparalleled insight into some of the most extreme and energetic phenomena in the cosmos. Launched in 1999, Chandra has revealed detailed views of supernova remnants, black holes, neutron stars, galaxy clusters, and dark matter through its ultra-sensitive imaging and spectroscopy. Its observations have transformed our understanding of the life cycles of stars, the behavior of matter under extreme conditions, and the structure of the universe.
