Chandra Observatory
The Chandra X-ray Observatory is a space telescope launched by NASA in 1999. It is designed to observe X-rays emitted by high-energy regions of the universe, such as black holes, supernova remnants, and clusters of galaxies. Chandra helps scientists understand the structure and evolution of the universe by providing detailed images and spectra of these celestial phenomena.
Located in a highly elliptical orbit around Earth, Chandra can observe the cosmos without interference from the atmosphere. Its advanced instruments allow for precise measurements of X-ray emissions, contributing significantly to our knowledge of astrophysics and the behavior of matter in extreme conditions.
