The Tarantula Nebula, also known as 30 Doradus, is revealed in an unusual light in this exceptionally deep Chandra X-ray ...

Gift your sweetheart a bouquet of brilliant stars this Valentine's Day with a multi-telescope image of a gorgeous nebula.

Views of a massive galaxy cluster Abell 2256 have been captured by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, ESA’s XMM-Newton and three radio telescopes (LOFAR, the GMRT and the VLA). See a composite of all ...

The Chandra X-ray telescope and other observatories are being used to study stars that could potentially harbor habitable planets. Future observatories will use the data to narrow down the list for ...

For the study, the researchers compared NuSTAR observations of a distant quasar — designated J1429+5447 — with unrelated observations of four months earlier by the Chandra X-ray telescope. The ...

In late February, if all goes to plan, a new character will enter NASA's space telescope epic. It's an eggshell white, conical probe named SPHEREx, which (get ready for a mouthful) stands for ...

The Perseus Cluster and its central supermassive black hole in white as seen by the Chandra telescope and the VLT | Credit: X-ray: NASA/CXC/SAO/V. Olivares et al.; Optical/IR: DSS; H-alpha ...

Jets from black holes trigger cooling in the hot gas, causing it to condense into warm filaments. These filaments then flow toward the black hole, feeding it, and the cycle repeats. Brightness ...

This supermassive black hole-food cooling process was discovered by astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) to observe some of the universe's most massive ...
