NASA said Monday that the Chandra X-ray Observatory came back online Friday. Chandra's trouble occurred less than a week after the Hubble Space Telescope was sidelined.

It is able to detect sources more than 20 times fainter than any previous X-ray telescope. The Chandra X-ray Observatory, despite its name, has no connection to the moon (Chandra in Sanskrit).

Chandra is the only high angular resolution x-ray telescope in space, and there is no mission with similar capabilities scheduled to replace it until 2032 at the earliest.

NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope detected two new streams of gas trailing behind a galaxy within a cluster called Zwicky 8338, or Z8338, located about 670 million light-years from Earth.

But earlier this year, when NASA announced that the Chandra X-ray telescope was facing the end of its days, it wasn’t for any of those reasons. The telescope was fully operational, continuing to ...
