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.

Chandra-teleskopet eller Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO), tidigare känt som Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF), uppskjutet i juli 1999 av NASA, är ett rymdteleskop som letar efter röntgenstrålning. Teleskopet är uppkallat efter Subramanyan Chandrasekhar. Det har främst använts till att undersöka energirika fenomen som exempelvis svarta hål och kolliderande galaxer. Uppskjutningen skedde med rymdfärjan Columbia, den 23 juli 1999 under uppdragsnamnet STS-93.
