New movies of two of the most famous objects in the sky — the Crab Nebula and Cassiopeia A — include X-ray data collected by Chandra over about two decades. They show dramatic changes in the remains of two massive stars in our galaxy.
A new project provides special 3D experiences on Instagram using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes through augmented reality (AR), allowing users to travel virtually through objects in space.
A brilliant supermassive black hole is not living up to expectations. Although responsible for high levels of radiation and powerful jets, this giant black hole is not as influential as many of its counterparts in other galaxies.
Three new sonifications of images from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have been released in conjunction with a new documentary about the project that makes its debut on the NASA+ streaming platform.
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."
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.
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.
A group of dead stars known as "spider pulsars" are obliterating companion stars within their reach.
Astronomers found the most distant black hole ever detected in X-rays using the Chandra and Webb telescopes.
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.
