The daily science and mission operations for this NASA observatory are performed right here in Cambridge. Since its launch in July 1999, Chandra has been re-writing the textbooks as NASA's flagship mission in X-ray astronomy. It is used to observe the hottest regions of the Universe, including the remnants of stellar explosions, gas in clusters of galaxies used to find dark matter, the surfaces of neutron stars, and plasma falling into black holes. For more information on Chandra's recent discoveries, go to http://chandra.nasa.gov/ and http://chandra.harvard.edu/. Co-sponsored by Chandra X-ray Observatory.
