钱德拉X射线天文台（英語： Chandra X-ray Observatory ，缩写为 CXO ），是美国宇航局（NASA）于1999年发射的一颗X射线天文卫星，以美国籍印度物理学家苏布拉马尼扬·钱德拉塞卡命名，為大型轨道天文台计划的第三颗卫星，目的是观测天体的X射线辐射。

After tracking a puzzling X-ray signal from a dying star for decades, astronomers may have finally explained its source: the old star might have destroyed a nearby planet. By turning Chandra and other NASA images into sounds, our project allows you to "listen" the data of exploding stars, black holes and more.

Chandra (Sanskrit: चन्द्र, romanized: Chandra, lit. 'shining' or 'moon'), also known as Soma (Sanskrit: सोम), is the Hindu god of the Moon, and is associated with the night, plants and vegetation. He is one of the Navagraha (nine planets of …

1999年7月23日 · The Chandra X-ray Observatory allows scientists from around the world to obtain X-ray images of exotic environments to help understand the structure and evolution of the universe. The Chandra X-ray Observatory is part of NASA’s fleet of “Great Observatories” along with the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitizer Space Telescope and the now ...

The Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO), previously known as the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF), is a Flagship-class space telescope launched aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia during STS-93 by NASA on July 23, 1999.

2024年4月2日 · Release 2.1 of the Chandra Source Catalog (CSC 2.1) is now available. The catalog covers roughly 730 square degrees of sky and contains 407,806 unique X-ray sources. See the full announcement for more detail. The Chandra X-Ray Center (CXC) is operated for NASA by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA …

NASA’s Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF), renamed the Chandra X-ray Observatory in honor of Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, was launched and deployed by the Space Shuttle Columbia on July 23, 1999. The combination of high resolution, large collecting area, and sensitivity to higher energy X-rays will make it possible for Chandra to ...

Chandra is the third of NASA's Great Observatories. The mirrors on Chandra are the largest, most precisely shaped and aligned, and smoothest mirrors ever constructed. The images Chandra makes are twenty-five times sharper than the best previous X-ray telescope.

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is a telescope specially designed to detect X-ray emission from very hot regions of the Universe such as exploded stars, clusters of galaxies, and matter around black holes. Because X-rays are absorbed by Earth's atmosphere, Chandra must orbit above it, up to an altitude of 139,000 km (86,500 mi) in space.
