NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory
http://chandra.harvard.edu/blog/
Chandra has imaged the spectacular, glowing remains of exploded stars, and taken spectra
showing the dispersal of elements. Chandra has observed the region around the supermassive
black hole in the center of our Milky Way, and found black holes across the Universe. Chandra
has traced the separation of dark matter from normal matter in the collision of galaxies in a
cluster and is contributing to both dark matter and dark energy studies. As its mission continues,
Chandra will continue to discover startling new science about our high-energy Universe.
