Jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause gas to cool and fall toward that cosmic titan in a cosmic feeding process.

Chandra and Webb teamed up for a new look at the Pillars of Creation, part of the Eagle Nebula. NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory celebrated its 25th anniversary in stunning style. The space ...

The galaxy NGC 5084 similarly rotates around a supermassive black hole, but in late December of 2024, NASA discovered something strange after re-analyzing data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory ...

Worse yet, NASA's own follow-up to Chandra called Lynx didn't make the cut for "high-priority development funding," he added, meaning that it likely won't be launched until at least the mid-2030s.

Astronomers are using the Chandra X-Ray observatory, a powerful, space-based telescope, to examine the first black holes. These black holes appeared in the first one to two billion years after the ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Exoplanets orbiting red dwarfs, like Wolf 359, face extreme space weather due to high levels of X-ray and ultraviolet radiation. Only planets with greenhouse ...

Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory found that this pulsar, known as PSR J0357+3205 (or PSR J0357 for short), apparently has a long, bright X-ray tail streaming away from it.

This suggests that NGC 5084 is host to a supermassive black hole tipped on its side, and scientists think it could be evidence of a galactic collision in NGC 5084’s recent past.
