Oldest Known Objects May Be Surprisingly Immature
These are Chandra X-ray Observatory images of the centers of two globular clusters, NGC 6397 and NGC 6121, located in the Milky Way galaxy.
-
Energetic Jets from a Budding Solar System
The image on the left from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory shows the first double-sided X-ray jet ever detected from a young star.
-
Action Replay Of Powerful Stellar Explosion
This combination of X-ray and optical images shows the aftermath of a powerful supernova explosion in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).
-
An Oxygen Factory in a Nearby Galaxy
This Chandra X-ray Observatory image shows the debris of a massive star explosion in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy about 160,000 light years from Earth.
-
One Weird Star Starts Acting Like Another
This deep Chandra X-ray Observatory image shows the supernova remnant Kes 75, located almost 20,000 light years away. The explosion of a massive star created the supernova remnant, along with a pulsar, a rapidly spinning neutron star.
-
Possible Progenitor of Special Supernova Type Detected
Using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have reported the possible detection of a binary star system that was later destroyed in a supernova explosion.
-
A Mysterious Elliptical Galaxy
This image of the elliptical galaxy NGC 1132 and its surrounding region combines data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope.
-
A Stellar Sight
This Chandra X-ray Observatory image shows Westerlund 2, a young star cluster with an estimated age of about one or two million years.
-
Chandra Data Reveal Rapidly Whirling Black Holes
Results from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory provide one of the best pieces of evidence yet that many supermassive black holes are spinning extremely rapidly.
-
Jet Power and Black Hole Assortment Revealed in New Chandra Image
A dramatic new Chandra image of the nearby galaxy Centaurus A provides one of the best views to date of the effects of an active supermassive black hole.
