The Chandra X-ray Observatory marked its 25th anniversary with a release of never-before-seen images. But budget cuts may cause the observatory’s days to be numbered.
The Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO), previously known as the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF), is a Flagship-class space telescope launched aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia during STS-93 by NASA on July 23, 1999.
The elliptical galaxy LEDA 1900245, is the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) of RX J1532.9+3021. It has a dimension of around 120.56 kpc (~393,000 light-years) and is a LINER galaxy, meaning a galaxy whose nucleus contains an emission spectrum characterized by broad lines of weak ion atoms. [8]
The primary objective of the STS-93 mission was to deploy the Chandra X-ray Observatory (formerly the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility) with its Inertial Upper Stage booster. At its launch, Chandra was the most sophisticated X-ray observatory ever built. It is designed to observe X-rays from high energy regions of the universe, such as hot ...
The Chandra X-ray source detected in UHZ1 is Compton-thick. [a] It has a bolometric luminosity of L bol ~ 5 × 10 45 erg s × 10 −1, corresponding to an estimated BH mass of ~ 4 × 10 7 M⊙.
That group would later go on to launch the Einstein Observatory (the first imaging X-ray telescope) in 1976, and ultimately lead the proposals and development of what would become the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Chandra, the second of NASA's Great Observatories and still the most powerful X-ray telescope in history, continues operations today as ...

The Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S) is an image taken by the Chandra X-ray Observatory satellite. The location was chosen because, like the Lockman Hole, it is a relatively clear "window" through the ubiquitous clouds of neutral hydrogen gas in the Milky Way galaxy, which allows observers to clearly see the rest of the universe in X-rays.
