- Pluto is cold and rocky. It hosts no known X-ray-emitting mechanisms. Yet, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected low-energy X-rays coming from Pluto. Prior to Pluto, the most distant solar system body with detected X-ray emission was Saturn's rings and disk. http://www.upi.com/science_news/2016/09/14/chandra-detects-low-energy-x-rays-from-pluto/7961473875812/?spt=sec&or=sn 112 comments science
- Astronomers have used data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to capture a dramatic image of an enormous tail of hot gas stretching for more than a million light years behind a group of galaxies that is falling into the depths of an even-larger cluster of galaxies https://phys.org/news/2018-09-tail-galactic-landscape.html 3 comments space
- 130 years ago, astronomers discovered a compact group of galaxies 280 million light years from Earth. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has captured the X-rays generated by the interstellar collision, as one of the galaxies is sucked through the center of the group at 2 million miles per hour http://www.popsci.com/military-aviation-amp-space/article/2009-07/when-galaxies-collide-280-million-light-years-away 6 comments space

- Astronomers have used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to find evidence our Milky Way Galaxy is embedded in an enormous halo of hot gas that extends for hundreds of thousands of light years. The estimated mass of the halo is comparable to the mass of all the stars in the galaxy. http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2012/halo/ 7 comments space
- A bright burst of X-rays has been discovered by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory in a galaxy 6.6 billion light years from Earth.
