Description

Chandra, the biggest X-ray space telescope to date, detects high-energy emissions from very hot regions of the universe. Since launching in 1999, Chandra has generated hundreds of thousands of images. But X-rays reveal only part of the picture. Researchers are combining Chandra data with other wavelengths to create images that reveal the different types of energy emitted by objects in space.
