Happy Birthday Chandra!

NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory is unlike any other telescope. Since its launch into space twenty five years ago, Chandra has been a flagship mission for X-ray astronomy discovering exotic new phenomena and examining old cosmic mysteries, looking at objects within our own Solar System, and out to nearly the edge of the observable Universe. Learn how we talk to spacecraft with binary code, explore 3D prints of exploding stars and more. Come say happy birthday to Chandra!
