- Chandra X-ray Observatory - NASAs flagship X-ray telescope
NASA's flagship mission for X-ray astronomy A baby planet is shrinking from the size of Jupiter with a thick atmosphere to a small, barren world By turning Chandra and other NASA images into sounds, our project allows you to "listen" the data of exploding stars, black holes and more
- Chandra X-ray Observatory - NASA
The Chandra X-ray Observatory is the world's most powerful X-ray telescope It has eight-times greater resolution and is able to detect sources more than 20-times fainter than any previous X-ray telescope
- Chandra X-ray Center
The Chandra Users’ Committee (CUC) held its Fall meeting Oct 8-9, 2024, and has released a report summarizing the presentations and outlining its recommendations
- Meet Chandra - Smithsonian Institution
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, which was launched and deployed by Space Shuttle Columbia on July 23, 1999, is the most sophisticated X-ray telescope built to date It orbits 200 times higher than Hubble, above the Earth’s atmosphere and more than one third of the way to the moon
- Chandra - NASA Science
Chandra detects X-ray emissions from very hot regions of the universe such as exploded stars, clusters of galaxies, and matter around black holes
- Chandra - Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
The Chandra X-ray Observatory was launched aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1999, and has been in continuous operation ever since Its orbit takes it in a long ellipse, reaching its greatest height above Earth of 139,000 km (86,500 mi), which is more than a third of the way to the Moon
- Chandra X-Ray Observatory: Revealing the invisible universe
The Chandra X-Ray Observatory has probed the origins of dark matter and revealed much about the parts of the universe we can't see visually
- Chandra X-ray Observatory - NASA
The combination of high resolution, large collecting area, and sensitivity to higher energy X-rays will make it possible for Chandra to study extremely faint sources, sometimes strongly absorbed, in crowded fields
