- Jets blasted outwards from a stellar-mass black hole at 80 percent the speed of light have been caught on film by NASA. The combined mass of material in the jets was approximately 400 million billion pounds. To put that into context, that is roughly equivalent to 500 million Empire State Buildings https://chandra.harvard.edu/blog/node/758 12 comments science
- Gravitational-lensing lets us view the same celestial bodies during different phases of their lifespans in multiple places in our skies. https://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2003/apm08279/apm08279_grav_lens_300dpi.jpg 7 comments space

- NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory runs on 2 kilowatts, about the same power as a hair dryer, but can observe X-rays from particles up to the last second before they fall into a black hole. STS-93, the space mission that deployed Chandra, was the first NASA shuttle mission commanded by a woman. https://chandra.harvard.edu/about/top_ten.html 8 comments space
- A Giant Stellar Eruption Detected for the First Time - powerful eruption in the atmosphere of the active star HR 9024, marked by an intense flash of X-rays followed by the emission of a giant bubble of plasma. This is the first time a coronal mass ejection has been seen in a star other than our Sun http://chandra.harvard.edu/press/19_releases/press_053119.html 5 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. This event likely signaled the merger of two neutron stars and could give astronomers fresh insight into how neutron stars http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2019/xt2/animations.html 3 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
