Chandra :: Photo Album http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/ Chandra Photo Album :: Recent Discoveries en-us Discovery of Most Recent Supernova in Our Galaxy http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2008/g19/ The expanding remains of a supernova explosion in the Milky Way are shown in this composite image of the supernova remnant G1.9+0.3. Oldest Known Objects May Be Surprisingly Immature http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2008/gclust/ These are Chandra X-ray Observatory images of the centers of two globular clusters, NGC 6397 and NGC 6121, located in the Milky Way galaxy. Energetic Jets from a Budding Solar System http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2008/dgtau/ The image on the left from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory shows the first double-sided X-ray jet ever detected from a young star. Action Replay Of Powerful Stellar Explosion http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2008/snr0509/ This combination of X-ray and optical images shows the aftermath of a powerful supernova explosion in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). An Oxygen Factory in a Nearby Galaxy http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2008/n132d/ This Chandra X-ray Observatory image shows the debris of a massive star explosion in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy about 160,000 light years from Earth. One Weird Star Starts Acting Like Another http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2008/kes75/ This deep Chandra X-ray Observatory image shows the supernova remnant Kes 75, located almost 20,000 light years away. The explosion of a massive star created the supernova remnant, along with a pulsar, a rapidly spinning neutron star. Possible Progenitor of Special Supernova Type Detected http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2008/ngc1404/ Using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have reported the possible detection of a binary star system that was later destroyed in a supernova explosion. A Mysterious Elliptical Galaxy http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2008/ngc1132/ This image of the elliptical galaxy NGC 1132 and its surrounding region combines data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope. A Stellar Sight http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2008/wd2/ This Chandra X-ray Observatory image shows Westerlund 2, a young star cluster with an estimated age of about one or two million years. Chandra Data Reveal Rapidly Whirling Black Holes http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2008/bh_spin/ Results from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory provide one of the best pieces of evidence yet that many supermassive black holes are spinning extremely rapidly.
