AI overview
The Chandra X-ray Observatory is a NASA space telescope that detects X-rays from extremely hot objects and energetic events in space, such as black holes, supernova explosions, and galaxy clusters. By observing these high-energy phenomena that visible light telescopes cannot detect, Chandra helps scientists understand some of the universe's most extreme and violent processes.
