NASA’s Chandra Observatory Reveals 22 Years of Cosmic X-Ray Recordings
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has released an expanded source catalogue spanning 22 years of observations, covering around 400,000 cosmic X-ray sources. The dataset captures high-energy events across the universe, from black holes to stellar remnants, and can be combined with Hubble and James Webb data. Scientists say it offers an unprecedente...

NASA Finds Most Distant Calm Galaxy Cluster Ever Seen in Early Universe
Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered SPT-CL J2215-3537, a massive galaxy cluster located 8.4 billion light-years away. Nicknamed the “Champagne Supernova” cluster, it is the most distant relaxed cluster ever observed, showing no signs of recent collisions. Its calm structure and active star formation challenge ex...

NASA’s Chandra Spots Champagne Cluster Formed by a Massive Galaxy Collision
Discovered on New Year’s Eve 2020, the Champagne Cluster is a striking pair of colliding galaxy clusters revealed through combined X-ray and optical observations. NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory shows superheated gas stretched and distorted, exposing a massive cosmic collision hidden from visible light alone. Studied by UC Davis astronomers, t...

Chandra’s New X-Ray Mapping Exposes the Invisible Engines Powering Galaxy Clusters
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has released stunning colour-coded galaxy cluster images that reveal shock waves, cooling gas, and cavities carved by supermassive black holes. By separating X-ray light into different energy bands, astronomers can now visualise hidden cosmic processes that shape the universe’s largest structures and control how...

NASA’s Chandra Finds Black Hole Growing Beyond Known Limits
A black hole in quasar RACS J0320-35, 12.8 billion light-years away, is growing 2.4 times faster than theory permits. Chandra’s discovery challenges ideas of how supermassive black holes formed so soon after the Big Bang.

Supergiant Star Wd1-9 Investigated: Know Everything about New Findings and Insights from Supergiant Star
The supergiant star called Wd1-9 has been recently investigated in detail. This detailed, in-depth research was done using NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The new findings suggest that it is a part of the binary system.

Chandra Spots Distant Baby Planet Losing Its Atmosphere Under Intense X-ray Assault
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has captured a rare glimpse of TOI 1227 b, a young, Jupiter-sized exoplanet losing its atmosphere under intense stellar radiation. Just 8 million years old, the planet is shrinking rapidly as X-rays strip away its mass. Scientists warn it may become a barren rocky core in about a billion years.

Young Exoplanet Spotted Shedding Atmosphere Under Stellar Radiation
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope have captured a dramatic cosmic event: a baby exoplanet, TOI 1227 b, is being stripped of its atmosphere by powerful X-rays from its host star. Only 8 million years old and orbiting a red dwarf, this Jupiter-sized planet is losing gas at a rate equal to Earth’s entire atmosphere every ...
