Tour: Stellar Beads on a String
Astronomers have discovered one of the most powerful eruptions from a black hole ever recorded. This mega-explosion may help explain the formation of a striking pattern of star clusters around two massive galaxies, resembling "beads on a string."
Tour: Telescopes Show the Milky Way's Black Hole is Ready for a Kick
The supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way is spinning so quickly it is warping the spacetime surrounding it into a shape that looks like an American football.
Tour: Astronomers Find Spark of Star Birth Across Billions of Years
These four images represent a sample of galaxy clusters that are part of the largest and most complete study to learn what triggers stars to form in the universe's biggest galaxies.
Tour: NASA's Chandra Catches Spider Pulsars Destroying Nearby Stars
A group of dead stars known as "spider pulsars" are obliterating companion stars within their reach.
Tour: NASA Telescopes Discover Record-Breaking Black Hole
Astronomers found the most distant black hole ever detected in X-rays using the Chandra and Webb telescopes.
Tour: X-ray Telescopes Reveal the "Bones" of a Ghostly Cosmic Hand
Chandra's data of MSH 15-52 have been combined with data from NASA's newest X-ray telescope, IXPE to unveil the magnetic field "bones" of this remarkable structure.
Tour: Chandra Rewinds Story of Great Eruption of the 1840s
Using snapshots taken over 20 years with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have learned important new details about an eruption from Eta Carinae witnessed on Earth in the mid-19th century.
Tour: A Fab Five: New Images With NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory
A new collection of stunning images highlights data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes.
Tour: A Giant Black Hole Destroys a Massive Star
Astronomers using NASA's Chandra, ESA's XMM-Newton, and other telescopes have determined that a giant black hole has destroyed a large star and strewn its contents into space.
Tour: Unexpectedly Calm and Remote Galaxy Cluster Discovered
Astronomers have discovered the most distant galaxy cluster with an important quality — providing insight into how these gigantic structures formed and why the universe looks like it does in the present day.
